For example, I couldn't rotate it (using the mouse) more than 360 degrees. Further, if I have more than 4 desktops, it seems impossible to rotate even less than 360 degrees so some desktops seem inaccessible in a single step. I also tried the cylinder and sphere, but they simply don't work for me, I always see the cube, no deformation at all. Btw, why are KDE people competing with Compiz(-fusion) wrt desktop effects? It seems very unlikely (ie. hard) to provide equivalent functionality. Why not concentrate to make Compiz better integrated in KDE itself and use its own effects instead? Of course, it works very well even now, but I see no point on recreating the same effects in KDE --- if one wants them, one probably likes eye-candy, and will probably prefer Compiz effects over KDE effects anyway. Of course, if the OP wants just the cube it's ok, but... :-) Best, :-) Marko -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
