In short, this issue is not fixed. Any fresh 14.04 installation with hot corners enabled will have hot corners inactive once out of two (approximately...). My hot corners are set to "Show desktops" on bottom right, "Windows spread" on bottom left.
My workaround (open Unity Tweak Tool, disable and enable back hot corners) still works every time. I think this, on top of being very annoying for those who use hot corners, prevent Ubuntu from reaching the nice usability it pretends to have. This unfortunately works very fine on Macs... Hot corners have been available for years in Compiz, but never really neatly integrated in Ubuntu. Any news about what is planned about this?

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.
