Have you installed the compizconfig-settings-manager?
If not, open up Synaptic, search for compizconfig-settings-manager and install.
It should then be available under System -> Preferences. This will let you edit the desktop cube option.
Also go to System -> Preferences -> Appearance and select Extra in the Visual Effects tab.

Enable the following plugins (by checking the box next to them):
* Desktop Cube - to actually use it, you might have to disable some other plugins (just follow the popup).
* Rotate Cube - this is necessary to spin the cube.
* Viewport Switcher (optional) - if you want to change desktops with the mousewheel.
Second, increase the number of the virtual desktops to 4 at General Options → Desktop Size → Horizontal Virtual Size (the other two options have to be left at 1).
Now you can switch desktops via Ctrl+Alt+Left/Right and spin the cube via Ctrl+Alt+Left Mousebutton (or via middle-click on the desktop).
All that and more configuration fun with Compiz, here: http://forlong.blogage.de/entries/2007/8/29/How-to-set-up-Compiz-Fusion
