3D-Desktop

I saw this cool looking piece of software here and had to have it.

I downloaded and untarred the source code for 3D-Desktop, but the configure script whined about some libraries that weren't found. I installed xlibmesa-gl-dev and libimlib2 and the configure script didn't puke any more, but the thing still doesn't compile. More later.

Well, I looked at the compile command generated by autoconf, installed the newest versions of all the libs required, re-ran configure and then tried compiling again. It worked. Now I have a fun carousel for switching my desktops!
