Workspace Edge Settings stops working on reboot

Thanks for your report.

Could you try to run "unity --replace" after you login to desktop?

Then check if workspace edge settings work. I guess this is an issue to unity.

Yes, this restores the functionality. Should I report this to Unity then?

Yes. I think you should report this to Unity.

But first please update to the latest version of Unity.

This equally affects me too.

Trying "unity --replace" did not do the wonder after restarting... I have to 'Ubuntu-Tweak' the corners at every login. This is slightly inconvenient.
Is there a config that can be set manually? I believe the settings is being overwritten each session. I've searched gconf-tool/dconf-tool, no use.

PAINFUL! PAINFUL!!

This bug is a duplicate of: 986208
A temporary fix was provided recently....

Quick fix, courtesy of Steven Kurylo (skurylo):

I used gconf-editor to change the following settings:

compiz-1> general> screen0> options> active_plugins

and I moved scale to the bottom of the list. Scale now works; however
expo didn't. I then moved expo to be below unityshell, but above scale.
It now works too.

#5

thanks for the workaround. I'd like to add it to Ubuntu Tweak in the next version.

+1 for #5

Just to confirm that that workaround worked for me too.

#5:

The workaround works for me in a different way.
Moving scale to the bottom of the list works for me fine, too.
But expo doesn't work if it is above scale and below unityshell.

Expo has to be on the bottom of the list for me. Above of expo has to be scale.
Now it works fine for me, too.

I am running 0.7.2 on both a laptop and desktop running 64 bit precise but still have this problem.

I tried to add the workaround to Ubuntu Tweak, but it seems the Gconf binding with Gobject has no gconf_value_set_list() method, so I can't do plugins reorder to the key of "/apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/active_plugins".

So this bug won't fixed in Ubuntu Tweak, please wait for the upstream bug: #986208.

Hello! I've tried both settings: #5 & #8 :
in both expo works and persists logouts,
but "show desctop" function doesn't...

What can I do to make it permanent?
