Initially Unity depended on the wall plugin directly. Due to a bug report, they have changed this requirement to simply “largedesktop.” As a result it is possible to have Unity and Cube running without modifying the Unity plugin, previously you had to remove the Wall plugin requirement from Unity in the xml file.
The problem now seems to be that in order to enable the Cube, you have to disable the Wall, which can’t be done without disabling Unity, which then crashes the Unity desktop. Instead what you’ll need to do is provide Compiz with a profile with the Cube already enabled.
