Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

If desktop-effects with cube are enabled the workspace switcher will
correctly show only one workspace 'cause the 4 sides of the cube are
regarded as 'virtual desktops'. If you increase the number of workspaces
you won't be able to select different sides of the cube(s) with the
mouse and the key shortcuts will produce a weird behaviour

A user who doesn't know this can get confused about this. So I think the applet 
preference dialog should warn that changing the number of workspaces will cause 
unexpected results.
Alternatively it should support the cube with giving an option to change the 
number of sides instead of select workspaces. (Perhaps it should be renamed as 
prism - I never saw a three-sided cube ;) )

** Affects: gnome-panel (Ubuntu)
