Blue Ball

Hey, i have this strange blue ball thing on my screen (see attatchment and it is visible over any window. When i click on it, it does the same action as pressing F10 in expose. I tried closing all the services, except the system one. This actually showed up like a month ago, but i just hid it off in the coner off the screen. Now i want to get rid of it. Any one know what's causing this ?

That is the expose blob. You may have enabled it in a program like TinkerTool or Onyx

It says to diable it, type this in terminal :

% defaults write com.apple.dock wvous-floater -bool false

But that doesnt work and i get this :

-bash: fg: %: no such job

What OS are you running (I don't think that command works in Tiger)

You can just download Cocktails trial and disable it quickly in there
