3d virtual desktop change

Hello Everyone!
I just saw a guy at univesity who had this great desktop environment. I was very impressed by the way the virtual desktops changed.
It was like a cube and the desktops would be sticked on the sides of that cube.
If he would change the virtual desktop you could have seen the cube rotating from the old desktop to the new.
Does anyone know how he did that and if it is possible with kde?
Would be great!!!!

I remember having seen something like this somewhere on the net, although I don't think it's possible with KDE. I think it was a totally different window manager.

Hi,

This should do what you are looking for:
http://desk3d.sourceforge.net/

I have not tested it, but in the FAQ it claims to support kde3:

8. Does it work with KDE 3?

Yes. Use the --kde3 or --ewmh switch to 3ddeskd. GNOME 2 and KDE 3 use the same EWMH standard.

OMG that is sexy! Functionally its a little less useful than the standard Pager but DAMN is it sexy! I could not help myself so if anyone is interested I have built rpms for 3ddesktop for Redhat 8 (if you don't use redhat 8 try downloading the src.rpm and working with it.) You can get the rpm here or get the src.rpm here

for those of you that use apt4rpm on Redhat 8 you can add:

rpm http://www.rockerssoft.com/apt/redhat/8.0/en i386 rockerssoft
rpm-src http://www.rockerssoft.com/apt/redhat/8.0/en i386 rockerssoft

to your /etc/apt/sources.list. I keep a couple dozen useful application there that I cannot find on any other apt server. Very cool, not KDE specific but very very cool.
