Ok, this is pure eye-candy, but I love it
3D-Desktop

Very similar to the user-switching animation in OS X, but much more useful if you're on a single user machine, since this is a workspace/virtual desktop switcher.
You'll need to have DRI working in X before you can use it. Make sure you read the README to understand how to set it up. The great thing about this is, since it's OpenGL rendered, the animation is very fast and fluid, so it doesn't affect productivity in any way, and it just looks awesome. Give it a try.

3D-Desktop is an OpenGL program for switching virtual desktops in a seamless 3-dimensional manner on Linux. The current desktop is mapped into a fullscreen 3D environment where you may choose other screens. Several different visualization modes are available.
The transition from working desktop to fullscreen 3D environment is seamless. In other words when the pager activates you see your current desktop appear to zoom out to a point in space where you can see your other virtual desktops allowing you to select another.
