Re: "the cube"
The desktop cube was part of the compiz window manager in earlier versions. It is not used in lisa as it is not compatible with gnome shell but can be installed and used in the MATE desktop.
[Edit] your original post and add [SOLVED] once your question is resolved.

Re: "the cube"
For those into "the cube": I'll bet many of you don't even realize that that functionality is possible (with the right graphics hardware of course) out of the box with KDE (Mint's or any other). I still have issues with compiz on the few remaining non-KDE installs I have - after years of messing with it. Only LMDE, Zorin and Puppy (with xfce+compiz) get it completely right on my rig. The cube generally works, but there are usually issues with transparency of cube caps and incorrect skydome rendering. KDE always gets it right with no issues... even using nouveau and open ati drivers lately. I'll not miss compiz when it inevitably dies!
