    It is now called "Compiz-Fusion" and it has many effects like cube/sphere, fire, rain, wobbling windows,etc... First you need to install the properietary driver if you have ATI or Nvidia. With Intel effects should be enabled out of the box. Go to System->Administration->Hardware Drivers. Let it download (you must be connected to the Internet) & install the drivers it tells you.
    Then you must install compizconfig-settings-manager to configure what effects you want. Open a terminal (Applications->Accessories). Type:
    Code:
    sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
    The first 2 commands will update ALL your programs with patches or newer versions.
    Compizconfig can be found after the installation, under System->Preferences.

    Do you have the Cube or the "Desktop Wall" enabled?
    You 'll get the hang of it very soon. For the cube you can hold the middle mouse button pressed and move it. Or ctrl+alt+left click. To drag from one desktop to another press super+E. It is the "expose" effect if I remember correctly.

    Under the "General Options" Section click the "Desktop Size" tab and increase the "Horizontal Virtual Size" to 4

    It should be under the compiz settings manager (Advanced Desktop Effects Settings)
