Like many people I love Eyecandy, and this one is pretty impressive. Many Ubuntuers already know about this, but I wanted there to be a how to for it.
Here is an easy trick to do that really impresses your friends and family (and you maybe).
Its a new way of switching desktops- in the 3rd dimension, and its pretty neat. To get it:
Then after it installs, you have two options (I did both).sudo apt-get install 3ddesktop
1. Use this program to make it so that the program runs when you mouse the moues out a corner (I picked bottom ones). Tell it to do a "custom action" and the command to get it to work is "3ddesk"

2. Make a launcher for it on your panel. Right click on the top panel. Select "custom application laucher". Put whatever name you want for it, but in the "command:" box put "3ddesk"
It actually works with Xcompgmr in Breezy, so the future is bright.
Have fun.
