I already had compizconfig-settings-manager installed, that's what I was using.

I tried Rotate Cube. Holy cow, that screwed things up. Pinned windows lost 
their positions, I suddenly couldn't access any of the virtual desktops. I 
tried to reset things back to the way they were, hopefully I succeeded.

I tried Desktop Wall instead. That works well enough (although I wish it would 
wrap.

When I logged out and back in it complained that there were updates pending 
that needed a reboot. Is it suddenly downloading and applying updates in the 
background?!? That's a no-no. Update Manager settings still shows "Display" 
only. Is there a different setting somewhere else?
