I experience the same issue when i activate the expo-function. I get a blank screen with reflection, but none of my workspaces are displayed. the plugin did still work a few days ago, I think it stopped working with the latest version.

I am running Ubuntu 7.04 with the packages from travinos repository, latest version: 1:0.5.5~git20070828+3v1ubuntu0

Without really knowing what i did i tried to set all compiz-settings to default by renaming the file "global.xml" in the directory "/usr/share/compizconfig/". After renaming compiz refused to load so I put the global.xml back to where it belongs and compiz was working again and nearly all plugins were disabled, exactly like after the first install. after i enabled the expo-function, it worked, but only until the next reboot of ubuntu.

Miha: What version of Ubuntu are you using and where did you get compiz?

Morryis: You'll have to talk to Trevinho about that one, we do not support his stuff.

That is not supported, you'll have to go to Trevinho for support.

You updated to the latest packages from the above sources and it was fixed? I still have this problem and I'm using the same sources above.
