under ccsm/rotate cube/zoom

the second one i think is called tile in the window management of ccsm

but it is not installed by default

you can get it here

thanks for replying...regarding the first thing: what are the actual KEYS you use to make the cube stand in the middle of my screen? i keep reading the spacebar but it's not doing the job!

under ccsm viewport switcher you can use mouse or if you want keyboard ctrl+alt+left or right arrows

under viewport settings actions put for move next Button5 move previous Button4 initiate Button2

that tool bar is called Avant Window Navigator, you can get it by visiting their website here:http://awn.wetpaint.com/?t=anon

i don't use a mouse....and when i use the ctrl+alt+ ARROWS the cube changes face and comes back right away with the next face....not standing in the middle...

there is no way to make what you are saying in gnome i think (i could be wrong)

i know in kde the mouse grabs screen and what you say is possible but i use gnome

ill give it a go to see if i can and tell you the answer
