I think it may be due to different builds of e. This experienced
expert has only head his head wrapped in this and e's window
management code for all of about 5 hours so maybe one of the devs can
point me out if I'm my arguments are completely bunk :) So, a quick
guess:
My working build is probably due to the fact I built e16 yesterday
with --enable-hints-ewmh and --enable-hints-gnome. Now I think ewmh
are enabled by default so its probably the latter. Especially since
the guy who wrote 3ddesktop seems to be guessing e's system works
like the older gnome jazz and so all configuration options default to
that (he doesn't really use anything e-specific). The actual elements
causing the problem are the WIN_AREA and WIN_AREA_COUNT Xatoms. So I
guess if you want to get it going for now you'll need to go to the effort of custom building your e.
It would be pretty damn snazzy to get this going seamlessly with both
workspaces and desktops, but the more I look at it the more bugs I
find! So I expect I'll have to drop this till the Jacaranda's stop
flowering and exams are finished.
I had it running a while back, but now I get: $ 3ddeskd ... 3ddeskd: glXIsDirect failed, no Direct Rendering possible! 3ddeskd: Please configure hardware acceleration. Exiting.
This is with xorg 6.8.1, composite enabled, nvidia drivers. Any hints are welcome.
Anyway, if you go on digging into this you should disable the old gnome hints so they don't confuse things, and 3ddesktop should only use the ewmh hints. I doubt there are problems in E's viewport/desktop hint handling as it plays perfectly well together with e.g. the gnome-panel pager.

Haven't upgraded to xorg yet - too busy with study and its waiting till
post exams as well so I'm afraid I can't help you there. Unless the file
that replaces XF86Config has a typo or needs extra editing. I know on
XFree86 it gives you GLX errors if you install the nvidia jazz but forget or typo
when updating the XF86Config to tell it to use the nvidia driver correctly. Do your glx
xscreensavers work?
E's ewmh handling looks fine - I ran some test code I quickly did up to
check a few of the hints as well as some playing around with xprop and it
looked ok. It's Brad's 3ddesktop setup that is a bit short. His ewmh setup only
looks for e's 'multiple desktops' - this is all thats needed in gnome or kde. To
get around our virtual desktops he was using the old gnome configuration.
So rather than fixing that I should probably look at extending the ewmh code
to do the virtual desktops. But this will take some more time than the 5 or
6 hours I spent toying with it last night :)
Interesting how catering for everyone tends to make code absolutely bewildering. So much so I think it might be easier starting from scratch, (build it up using evas perhaps?) and just borrow ideas from his for implementation concepts.
Cheers, Daniel.
