I installed the latest Ubuntu Tweak and set up hot corners as I always did in previous distros. It worked all fine until I logged out and back in again only to find out nothing happens when I hover the pointer to the corners!
When I open up UT again, the drop-downs are still set to what I chose for the hot corners though!
Any help would be appreciated since hot corners make life much easier!\.

Same problem.

Edit: Using ccsm I did not encounter this problem. Just unset and reset the hot corners.

This is really annoying. Has anyone found a fix yet? The funny thing is that it sometimes starts working again...

Same problem, at least I'm not going mad.

I suggest you add your names to "bug affects me also".
The more people who do, the more likely the bug will be resolved.

Thanks, I've added my name to the list. I wonder, are there any alternatives that will give me these hot corners in the meantime? I find them really useful!

As mentioned in one of the comments in launchpad, one rather dirty workaround is to run
compiz --replace in the terminal whenever the corners were not responding.

Another fix I haven't tried yet but received much appreciation in launchpad was (and I quote):
"
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.
