I cant seem the find the right place to set a hot corner for the "Show desktop" or "Fade to desktop" plugins. Any ideas?

As far as my understanding goes, if you have the CompizConfig Settings Manager installed, if you go to General Options > Actions > General, Hide all windows and focus desktop would be what you're looking for.

Ey all. i've been reading some of the threads here about the show desktop..and like here, all suggest "actions in general options"
But i don't have that :confused::confused:
I only have a "general" tab under general options..and i can only disable/enable "Show Desktop" ..i don't have any options for it!

thanks

edit: now i found it under "advanced search".. weird it doesn't show up in the normal general options ??
I have another question then: how can i change the shortkeys? e.g. i'd like to change ctrl+alt+d to super+D
Also how do I change the way yo initiate the cube? in beryl i could mouse3 click&hold and i could move around

Hi There, I have similar problem but the option in the General Option does not have any effect. I can set any corner to show Expo and Scale but not for Show Desktop. Show Desktop only work if I use Keyboard but that is not so conveninet :(.I use to use this in beryl and I love it. Any workaround is possible?
