One question....probably quite dumb, but I can't find the answer to it so far....
In the screenshots I see, the cube looks "smaller" than the desktop screen, so when you rotate it it is very obviously a cube. At the moment when I rotate it, I can tell it is there, but it would not be obvious to people who did not know what to expect.
I also wonder if there is an easy way to have a different wallpapers and decorations for each desktop. I'm not interested in installing compiz-fusion, as I just wanted to see what compiz can do, and dont plan on using it as my actual wm.
Seriously...do yourself a favour and install compiz-fusion and ccsm, or just skip it entirely. Having been through this myself quite a while ago, compiz really, really...*really* isn't meant for configuring without ccsm or another front-end. In fact many things prove to be *impossible* without installing a configuration tool.

Thanks
As far as different wallpapers each desktop idk BUT I do know that in the rotate cube section of ccsm (not in desktop cube but rotate cube) there's a zoom setting. I currently have mine at 0.5 and the higher the number the farther it zooms out. Highest you can do is 2.0 which is TINY...Than again, you'd need ccsm for this.

This is possible but it requires you to recompile the kde-workspace package with a patch for compiz wallpaper. It's pretty easy but after you patch and recompile kde-workspace then you have to edit one file and then you can set your wallpapers from ccsm.
