Got it working and looks great. I think gnome workspace switcher is not aware
of compiz because it will only show one workspace. ctrl+alt+{left,right} arrow
changes the workspaces or cubes. It would be nice if the workspace switcher
did this, I guess it needs some code.

Also, I can't move a window to another workspace by right clicking the window bar.
Could this be related?
