Compiz provides all the (mostly daft and useless) desktop effects.
To find out if it will work, System>Preferences>Appearance>Visual Effects> select normal or extra.

Compiz adds 3D acceleration via Opengl to your window manger (similar to aero in vista).

Yeah I was hoping for a bit of 3D.
Your probably out of luck then, 3D acceleration is a bit flaky but it can be made to work if you do some googling.

expecting 3D acceleration on a VM may be expecting a bit too much.

Agreed, if you want compiz just install it properly and forget about using VM's.
If anyone is desperate to get 3D acceleration in a guest OS here's a link for you.

VMWare Server works just fine on a desktop PC, I used to run it on my old Athlon 2100 with 1gb RAM, NForce2 chipset and FX5600 graphics card.

I meant that win2k and XP do not have a 3D accelerated desktop
