This is a crude temporary work around. Make a bash script #!/bin/bash setsid unity
Then add it to 'startup applications' so it runs automatically on startup Rebooted and cold booted may be 20 times and have been working except maybe twice or three times where the session might be corrupted (show black borders when exposing workplaces instead of the orange high lighter) There may be a slight delay in login time but not obvious here. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to compiz in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/858845 Title: Screen edge actions set in CCSM (scale/expo) don't work (sometimes) - Wall plugin is probably responsible Status in Compiz: Fix Released Status in Unity: Invalid Status in “compiz” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: PROBLEM: If the unityshell plugin is loaded after compiz plugins like scale or expo, those plugins will lose their "active corner" settings. The settings are still set but don't have any effect. Keyboad shortcuts are not affected. This looks like a problem in the unityshell plugin. WORKAROUND: Re-order the list of plugins to move expo and scale (or whatever else you use) behind unityshell. In 12.04 the list of plugins is found in this gconf key /apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/active_plugins In 12.10 it is this dconf key /org/compiz/profiles/unity/plugins/core/active-plugins ( for some with 12.10 it may be at /org/compiz/profiles/unity/plugins-with-set-keys ) -- old description -- I have set expo edge to bottom right. After reboot, often this setting does not seem to work. To re-enable expo edge, I have to clear it in compizconfig settings manager and re-set it to bottom right.
