Hi Eric.

Thank you.  Progress!

I've applied it in Tumbleweed (on iron).  Though I've yet to test it 
thoroughly, I'm happy to say that it works in Plasma (X11) but less well 
in Plasma (Wayland).  The problem in Wayland is that after I invoke the 
toggle Ctrl-F11 and select a face of the cube, a right-click on the 
desktop does nothing at all - no menu or other response.  X11 is OK in 
that regard; Wayland isn't.

Other than that, is it correct to assume that the only way of invoking 
the cube is the Ctrl-F11 toggle?  That is, where it was possible with 
the original to invoke cube animation simply by clicking on one of the 
faces in the pager, or by way of keyboard shortcut, that facility no 
longer exists?

Appreciated,

Robin
