Have you tried installing the Compiz Settings Manager on your system as yet ? If not , try it out ... It's way too cool over the default effects manager in Ubuntu ...
And its quite easy to set the up ... Here's what you have to do :
1. Install CCSM
Go to the terminal and type in :
sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
2. Go to System->Preferences->Advanced Desktop Effects Settings
3. To begin with , enable the Desktop Cube, Rotate Cube and Cube Caps plugins.
4. You can also try your hands with all the other effects given towards the bottom of the Settings window ...
Make your Ubuntu work a li'l more exciting with these effects ... :) ...
Enjoy ...
p.s. - The desktop cube described above works only if there are 3 or more workspaces ... For less than 3 workspaces , it only shows a desktop sheet which is quite logically correct ... :)
To activate the "cube" , increase the number of workspaces depending on the faces of the "cube" u need ...
This can be done using the workspaces tab towards the left bottom of your ubuntu desktop (next to the trash icon) ... Right click and enter preferences ...
Select the no. of workspaces by incrementing the columns part ... leave the rows intact ... Now check the cube effect with CTRL+ALT+MouseButton1 ... :)
