Do you have "Advanced Desktop Effects Settings" in your System > Preferences menu?

If not you'll have to install the compiz-config settings manager

I'm not sure about the menu thing, but you want to open the advanced effects window, click on the desktop cube button, and go to the appearance tab. What you want is called a skybox. Have a look at the picture I attached for the screen you're looking for.

I have tried this and I can't get it to work. I think its the keyboard shortcuts, as Win + Alt seem to do the same thing as Alt + Tab. What is switching between desktops called on the keyboard shortcut configuration?
