Rotating Cube Idea

[aidave]

It would be cool if we could hit a key-combination and have the desktop cube do an automatic rotation. So we could hit that key and watch the cube rotate slowly (a configurable amount), then press a key or button to come back to the closest window.

Just think of the reactions from people seeing your rotating desktop! :)

I think this is included in the Screensaver plugin in newer compiz builds

Hmm, I dont see it, can you explain where to find it?
