Will be useful for blocking mouse to current monitor when closing a window, clicking on start etc. by blocking certain segments of the display from letting the mouse out.
It will enable users to effortlessly close a window without worrying about going to and fro between monitors

from the sounds of what you're describing this can be done using "Dead Corners". if you press "Configure Server" and go to the "Advanced server settings" tab, it's at the bottom.

If you need something more versatile then doing a manual config could be the answer you seek. it allows you to set the exact size and location of the 'warp' zone on your monitors
