I just installed 3ddesktop but I can find any icons or options to launch the application. Where would I find it or what would I need to do in the terminal in order to run it?

When I try to run it i get an error message in the terminal:

steven@steven-desktop:~$ 3ddesk

Also, I only have a generic video card, if that helps...

Here are two of the requirements of 3ddesktop (from the author's website):
OpenGL/Mesa (Hardware acceleration is strongly recommended)
GLX

It looks like you don't have GLX enabled. If you post your video card specs and /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, I'm sure somebody in these forums will be able to help you.
