I want to be able to assign multiple modifier combos to each corner so depending on which keys I'm holding down a different function is invoked. Currently it only allows for each corner to provide one function using whichever single key combo you assign.
I have my might mouse scroll button perform 5 different tasks depending on which modifiers I use. There are 15 different combos you can hold with the 4 modifier keys and it'd be nice to have a little more flexibility for the hot corners.

Yea, that'd be nice, too. Unfortunately, no go as of yet. Proteron used to make a product called MaxMenus that (if I recall correctly) allowed something very close to that.
Sadly, the company and the product are both gone.

I can confirm that it works in 10.4 (just tried it for All Windows and it worked fine). Also, as an aside, Dashboard gets its shoutout since the preference pane in Tiger is called "Dashboard and Exposé".

Awesome tip! I've always liked the idea of using hot corners to activate Exposé, but it was so easy to accidentally activate them that I always turned it off after a day. This solves the problem.

Helpful tip. I was using a widget called "Off" to activate the screen saver. Now I can use hot corners.
