Bug Description

I set up hot corners to activate the workspace switcher in the top-right corner, and window spread at bottom-right corner. This functionality frequently disappears after rebooting, and the corners become "cold" again. Sometimes I can get hot corners back by choosing the option in unity-tweak-tool again, but sometimes this does not help - though it appears that sometimes it comes back on its own. Ubuntu-Tweak had the same problem: http://askubuntu.com/questions/136445/ubuntu-tweak-tweaks-get-ignored-after-reboots

This is a Compiz bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/858845), no there's no much we can do about it. There's a workaround but only works until a system update so the problem persist.

Changed in unity-tweak-tool:
