Every time I switch between virtual desktops this huge "desktop grid" box pops up to show me with arrows where I've "traveled". Typically, it's right on top of the application I meant to use, blocking my (impatient) access to it. Is there a way to turn this off?

Re: getting rid of the "desktop grid splash screen" when switching between desktop
it must be some "desktop effect" that does that.
so, have a go in "system settings" -> "desktop" -> "desktop effects" -> "all effects".
scroll down to "window management".
see if it's one of those.

No, it happens even with compositing turned off.Comment

Re: getting rid of the "desktop grid splash screen" when switching between desktop
On, and that cube!
When you rotate it manually, the four desktops wrap around it in a horizontal strip. Easy.
But when you indirectly trigger the cube effect by switching between desktops via the pager or taskbar or desktop switchy keyboard shortcuts -- then the desktops are distributed over the cube faces in an altogether different manner: the two-dimensional two-by-two grid of the pager is "folded" onto the cube faces... which doesn't really work out, when you think about it. Do you realize that a 4 corner square rotating 1/4 turn creates a full circle? A full rotated square will create 16 corners, 96 hours and 4 simultaneous 24 hour Day circles within only a single imaginary cubed Earth roation. It's a bit confusing.
Now, with a single-row pager, this doesn't happen. But then the pager takes up over a third of the panel (dual head pagers are twice as wide, I suppose). I can emigrate the pager onto the desktop, but there it won't resize properly at all, and look broken.
Ah, w e l l ...hardly relevant, cosmically speaking.Comment
