Have you got your spinning desktop cube turned on yet, Tallyman?
isn't that only with beryl? i don't think gnome has that...or if it does, i haven't found it yet.
it does have the jello and open/close window effects.
Beryl sort of died last year. They and the Compiz bunch finally decided to merge, and became Compiz-Fusion (roughly speaking).
In order to get full control over the compiz settings, install compizconfig-settings-manager to make things nice and easy.
You may need to check "Administration"/"Hardware drivers", to make sure your graphics driver is up to the task.
I also install compiz-fusion-plugins-main and compiz-fusion-plugins-extra for more fun. E.g. to paint fire on my screen.
I couldn't live without "Enhanced Zoom Desktop".

Oh! And yippee! The "3D Windows" had gone missing. I just noticed it was properly back. Nice. Now my windows float up off the cube, so I can see them better. ("Cube Atlantis" seems to have disappeared - so no more 3D fish inside my cube - just the gear wheels - sob?)
