Here is a workaround that worked for me: 1. Install gconf-editor (sudo apt-get install gconf-editor)
2. Assuming that you have previously set up the corner action with the Compiz Config Settings Manager, we first find out the correct value string (if you know the config strings by heart, you can skip that): start the gconf-editor, and navigate to /apps/compiz-1/plugins/expo/screen0/options find the Key that is named "expo_edge" and write down the value, for example "<BottomRightEdge>". 3. Navigate now to /apps/compizconfig-1/profiles/Default/plugins/expo Find again the key with the name "expo_edge", and fill in the previously found string, for example "<BottomRightEdge>" (without " quotes) 4. Be happy on the next reboot because it is working I assume that the compiz config setting manager writes to the wrong part of the gconf file (I thought gconf would be obsolete anyway and would be replaced by dconf). So may be the bug is more related to CCSM instead of compiz itself.
