I need help identifying and removing annoying gadget that shows all open windows and applications when I mouse over a corner.

It seemed like a good idea at the time. Some time ago I installed a gadget (doesn't seem to be an item in my Applications folder) which, when I mouse-over the lower-left corner of my screen, brings up a screen showing reduced-size versions of all open application windows and Finder windows. I've tried to identify what it is, and where it is located, so I can remove it, but to no avail.

I'd really appreciate any help getting rid of this thing. Thanks!

Mini, Mac OS X (10.4)

Hi Paul,

Check System Preferences>Accounts (Users & Groups in later OSX versions)>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.

Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.

Check the System Preferences>Keyboard>Keyboard Shortcuts.

Thanks for the suggestions, BDA. My OS is 10.4.11.

Login items: System Events and RightZoom

Other: AppTrap (installed today to try to find this problem), Divx, Flash Player, Flip4Mac wmv, Glimmer Blocker, Growl, Perian, Startup Sound

Keyboard shortcuts: Screen shots; Universal access; Keyboard navigation; Dock, Expose & Dashboard; Dictionary; Spotlight; Display. Application Keyboard shortcuts - All Applications is empty.

None of these look like the culprit to me. Is there something here that you think might be the one?
