Lose compiz mouse corner actions on boot

[wistle]

I have setup the following mouse gestures in Compiz:
- lower left corner: show windows
- lower right corner: show workspaces
- upper right corner: show desktop

On reboot these gestures stop working. In compiz these gestures remain defined but I have to clear and set them again to get them working again. I also found that if I run "unity --replace" after boot, the mouse gestures start working again.

I'm currently running an up to date version of Ubuntu 12.04 (development branch) with unity 3D.

I managed to clear the bug by clearing all my compiz settings and rebooting:

1. cd ~
2. find . -name "*compiz*"
3. For every item listed:
   rm -R [file or folder name]
4. Reboot
5. Setup all my preferences again

After this the problem disappeared.

I've tried wistle's fix, but the problem still persists. Actually, I do notice that sometimes the corners work fine after boot up, and other times running "unit --replace" is required to get them working.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

The problem has returned for me! But this time its only the mouse
gesture linked to compiz->scale (show all windows) that is affected. My
"show workspaces" gesture still works correctly. Using "unity
--replace" fixes the problem until I reboot.
