No glow effect on expo Compiz plugin.

[Albert Cutrona]

Hello!!

I've an issue with Compiz's expo plugin, there isn't the orange glow effect which shows the current workspace.

If I run "dconf reset -f /org/compiz/" and "setsid unity" fixes the problem temporarily because when I reboot the laptop the problem is still there.

Thank you very much!! :)

I migrated to Ubuntu Mate and had the same problem, Expo plugin didn't work. But after the last Compiz update seems fixed.

So, for me this bug can be closed.

Thank you very much and very best regards!! :)

Well, back to Ubuntu and the same error again... :(

I've to turn off the expo plugin and after turn on the plugin plus the Unity plugin and then works.

It's a silly error but really annoying. Please, don't close the bug, thanks.

Best regards!!

Best regards!!
