I don't know if the dragging thing is changable, but hey, it's still Linux. Anything is possible...right?
i r a nubb and dont no wut dat iz or how it wurkz. sry.

You can do this with Compiz: http://zorchenhimer.deviantart.com/art/No-More-Cube-102313488

I can't use ubuntu 10.4, because I can't install the nvidia driver

Go get the driver off the Nvidia website.  I always have to manually upgrade and recompile my drivers whenever they upgrade the kernel.

Ha, I used to have that one (with auto-hidden taskbar), but then I realized how whacky it looks to have the text under the icons stick out of place. I know there are ways to hide the text, but I was too lazy (and I found out about Fences).

When it comes to wallpapers though, that semi-interactive concept is still one of the most awesome.

Every once in a while.  I change my desktops rather often though, so I don't use that one any more.  I'll post the current ones when I get home later tonight.

So, I finally got the rotating cube going on. Has anyone figured out how to enable dragging windows across workspaces yet?

Well, now the dragging windows thing all of a sudden works... time to figure out how to get it to recognize my wifi card and make the fan run faster before my CPU gets to 80°C.

Also, my wallpaper/skydome/persona:

I never got the skydome images to work the way I wanted them to.  So I have a simple black to grey gradient.
