Help with Beryl - Rotating Cube

[James Heaver]

If I am understanding your problem correctly it sounds like you may have
changed the shortcut to activate the feature.

ie. The feature is active and working properly, its just waiting for you to
press the right buttons to activate it.  These can be changed in the beryl
settings somewhere (I'm not at my linux box atm so can't check where).

Also, in regards to beryl - the configuration screens are very powerful, but
horrible to navigate if you don't know what features you're looking for - so
you are not being stupid, or anything in not being able to get things
working - I'm in admiration of the fact that you've managed to keep it
running in a stable fashion.  Whenever I play around with beryl I tend to
break something.
