[SOLVED] Compiz + Xfce and Nvidia drivers, can't do cube

[DeadlyMuffin]

I appologize in advance if this is a dumb question, I'm new to this compiz stuff. I'm running Xfce, and right now I'm starting compiz by killing xfwm4 and running "compiz-nvidia" which seems to work. I figured I'd automate it once I got it working.

Compiz seems to work, I have window decorations, my alt tab has been replaced with the compiz one (which kind of disappointed me, I was hoping for something more along the lines of expose from OSX), but the feature that I was really hoping for was the cube, and I can't get it to work.

I have cube in my gconf-editor settings in compiz/general/allscreens/options/active_plugins, but holding down control-alt left or right doesn't do anything.

I changed compiz/general/screen0/options/hsize, vsize and number_of_desktops to be 4,4 and 6 respectively, but still nothing.

Any suggestions as to what might be keeping the cube from working?

you also need to activate the rotate plugin

[DeadlyMuffin]

No, that's activated too. I think something in xfce may be grabbing the key combo

[Vaarsuvius]

it shouldn't by default... or check settings -> keyboard to be sure.
I use xfce + beryl without any problem.. you could also try to grab the cube with the mouse..

btw the alt-tab replacement (switcher) is not the feature that looks like expose (at least if i remember correctly what expose is...)
that would be the scale plugin...

Fixed it. I was running gconf-editor as the wrong user. That'll do it every time. It works, and looks awesome. Now I just need to figure out how to run xplanet in the background.
