gnome-shell is where it's at.

Compiz is to be phased out iirc, they still use it now for desktop events, but with the advent of Gnome 3 looming, gnome-shell is talked about being the default wm for it.

Hmm, instructions for newest version are the same

On one site it says "

You can see the "cube" if you keep <ctrl> and <alt> pressed and move your mouse (forward to zoom out, backward to zoom in, left and right to rotate). Normally <ctrl>+<Alt>+ <Left mousebutton> should show you the cube."

Is it not installing or is it not showing up under desktop effects

And what isnt working about hiding the network drives

I don't think the graphics card in the machine I've installed it on is good enough for the effects.

Tried typing what you said but didn't work .

Will try again later. Hair cut at the moment.

Ubuntu is very very picky over video cards, even more so than Windows Vista/7 Aero
