Did you enable both the Desktop Cube and Rotate Cube plugins? Additionally, you need to go to General Options > Desktop Size and set Horizontal Virtual Size to 4 (and the other two options to 1)

This isn't related to your problem, but I thought I'd make sure you know that you don't need to be using Xgl to use compiz on nvidia. It's not necessarily bad to use it, but if you experience any graphical problems, you may want to try removing the xserver-xgl package and restarting X.

start compiz with compiz --replace
then run
rm -r ~/.compiz
rm -r ~/.config/compiz/compizconfig

that will remove the configuration directories

then do what crdlb said

just a little warning, the above post will remove all your current configuration

you might want to do a backup first with

$ mkdir ~/Desktop/compizConfigBackup
$ cp ~/.config/compiz/compizconfig/* ~/Desktop/compizConfigBackup

.... :D
