Okay,, no answer for 14 months looks ominous.
I found one reference to running compiz under Elementary and it did not look like a happy event. I am thinking that:
1 the graphics are not sophisticated enough to support it elegantly, and
2 the horsepower is not there to force it without making it clear that it is struggling.
I am thinking that if we want things like rotating cube workspace switching we are in the market for a rebuilt laptop with more horses and better graphics support. I am only slightly disappointed, as that is not WHY I got a PPro. If anyone finds this and has found (or built) a way to get those compiz style effects working that does not suck, please post a how-to. I think there are several of us that would be interested.
PS: I like the little smiley because we have the same hairdo!
