Solution 1

First install 'xfdashboard'

Install Xubuntu Extras. SOURCE

To set up hot corners:

Option 1

1. Open 'xfdashboard settings' in the program menu
2. Select 'Plugins' tab
3. Select 'Hot Corner'and tick option
4. Select 'Preferences'
5. CLose
6. Reboot system

Option 2 SOURCE

sudo apt-get install brightside

Once installed, open terminal and enter:

brightside-properties

In properties:

1. Select Corner, tick box
2. In drop down select 'custom action'
3. Enter 'xfdashboard' in 'On entering region'
4. Adjust delay

Yeah I bound the skippy-xd in the hotcorner plugin, thanks for the link, donno what oliebollen is though.
