The BigLig Thinks

Although there was a moment of hope when the first thing I clicked actually worked - a folder on the desktop opened. Then it all went quiet again.

So frustrating, I fired up a video, moved the window so it was covering the border between two desktops, then rotated the cube so I could see it. Worked fine; video was a tiny bit choppy but I'm projecting it on the surface of a cube with an onboard chipset for goodness sake!

No useful responses to my problem description on the Compiz forums, unfortunately. I might see if there's a suitable thread on the Ubuntu forums.
