Sorry for the stupid question but I am new with Linux (I am using Gnome classic with Ubuntu 12.04) and I cannot set compiz in order to obtain the rotating cube.

I have already installed compizconfig-setting-manager and also the extra (and fusion) plugins but:

  • even if I disable the desktop wall and enable cube and rotating cube, nothing happens;
  • even if I change into general settings the number of vertical and horizontal virtual size nothing happens.

What I need is (possibly) a step by step answer.

Thank you

Ok...I solved my problem by using the command.

compiz --replace

which I have found looking around.

Can someone explain me what I have precisely performed with this command?

Thanks in advance

With compiz --replace, you have replaced any existing window manager with Compiz; if you were already using Compiz, you have "reset" (or re-initialized) it -- which probably explains why this command solved your problem by finally applying your custom settings.
