Hi,

I tried it with following problems
 - sometimes a window disappears and you have to change workspace several times
to get back to the original one and find the window again
 - it has some ugly effects that can't be disabled by gconf right now (I don't
know if they can be disabled at all, except for another recompilation)
 - for example, wobbly (or what's the right name) effect should be disabled at
least for nautilus' desktop; when wobbling, you can see blue color on the borders
 - it crashed for me several times
