[Malvern] That rotating cube.

[Geoff Bagley]

When some of us went down to Message Labs recently we saw a demo of a 
desktop
which used a rotating cube with separate  windows on separate faces.
I guess this may be part of Gnome. 

At the recent Malvern LUG meeting in the Great Malvern Hotel,  our new 
member from
West Africa showed us a version of Ubuntu running the same form of 
display on his lap-top.

Please what does this rotating cube call itself,  is is standard on 
modern versions of Gnome,
and what are Members' views ?  Rick - I think you use Gnome - do you use 
this ?
Is this a major advance ?  Originally it appeared to be mainly cosmetic, 
but I guess is could
be useful.  I have a choice between four desktops on the "kicker" bar at 
the bottom of KDE.
It would be nice to compare them for convenience.

Although I am running KDE,  I think some of the applications belong to 
Gnome are very attractive -
Evince, Abiword, and Gnumeric to name just three.

Best regards,

Geoff.
