How do I add more than two workspaces to X/ubuntu? Because when I changed it via Workspaces Settings to 4... it would still only show 2 in the pager, and when I tried switching via CRLT+ALT+Left/Right Arrow, it still only shows 2.

You need to increase the horizontal virtual size, in general settings, in ccsm.

One more question: How do I activate the cube? CRTL+ALT+Down does not work. Nevermind, I got it to work *sighs*

That's what I want to know actually, the transparent cube compiz talks about.

Outside the cube? I'm not sure I completely understand. In the Rotate Cube plugin you set let the level of zoom... This will move the cube further back when rotating.

The transparent cube can be configured from ccsm->Desktop Cube->Transparent Cube. If the Opacity During Rotation setting is less than 100, then the cube fades out as it rotates or when you grab it with the mouse. If the Opacity When Not Rotating setting is less than 100, then the cube becomes transparent even when you aren't doing anything with it.

I'm not sure if you might be referring to the effect of the ccsm->Desktop Cube->Behaviour->Inside Cube option?

this image (http://www.rdegraaf.nl/image/screendump_debian_etc_compiz.png) is what Agreken meant. In order to start the cube "zoomed out" in the first place, you must set a key accelerator to the "initiate" value in the Rotate Cube plugin (Which has no value by default.)
