Bug Description

Enabling Desktop cube requires disabling Desktop wall. This further prompts to close unity, since unity can't run without the 'large desktop' feature , which is provided by one of 'desktop cube' and 'Desktop wall'. After closing unity, switching to desktop cube and restarting it, a lot of other window features are disabled. The whole process is tedious. It would be better if switching from Desktop wall to Desktop Cube can be made without disabling unity.

Just found an easier way out for this problem. I just imported this profile to my compiz-configuration manager on Ubuntu 11.10 and the cube is enabled. Go to preferences to import this profile.

Hi, Vibhav. Thanks for your help but the attachment is not a patch, it is merely a configuration file.
