I have compiz-fusion running and I can get the cube to rotate by dragging a window to the edge of the screen, but the window stays on the first workspace. Is there any way to get the cube to rotate when I click on another workspace rather than dragging?

Thanks.

don't you hold ctr alt at the same time?

When I press ctrl and alt the window shrinks a bit and then restores to its normal size, but nothing else changes. There must be a simple setting somewhere that I have messedup......just haven't had amy luck finding it yet.

Thanks for the response!

Do you have Compiz-Fusion-Icon installed? You can have a look thru the options available in it to see if something needs enabling perhaps.

There is an option in the Compiz settings for '3dcube'.

Once in that option, at the top of the screen, are two tick boxes, these control the behaviour you speak of.

Cant tell you exactly what they are as my graphics card is giving me problems at the moment, but one allows you to drag windows to the next face of the cube. Its very annoying if you allow this though, as everytime you move the mouse to the edge of the screen you move to another desktop 'face' even if you didnt want to.

What graphics card do you have?

Could be that the default settings in compiz settings are screwed up. If you go into the compiz settings manager and click on the 'general options' button at the top...a couple of tabs along the general section is the Desktop Size. Go into that and increase the Horizontal Virtual Size to 4. Leave everything else as it is, even the setting for number of workspaces as only 1 (bizarre, I know). The Desktop Switcher Applet on the far right of the bottom panel of your desktop should have four sections, one for each desktop. That is what compiz seems to refer to for its number of desktops available. Or you could reduce the desktop switcher's desktops to one and increase the number in comiz settings to four, I suppose. Makes some sort of sense.

Hopefully this helps. Good luck.

I don't find that to be true. I can drag a window to the next desktop in either direction but just running the mouse into the edge of the screen does nothing. (Unless it's in the upper right corner and then it shrinks the windows till you bump it again or click in the desktop.) Clicking on a desktop in the taskbar (panel) or just clicking on an app's icon there, will spin to that desktop. Are you not getting that to work right?
