Description Diederik van der Boor 2008-12-21 20:29:06 UTC 
Version:           onbekend (using 4.1.85 (KDE 4.1.85 (KDE 4.2 Beta2)) "release 3.1", KDE:KDE4:UNSTABLE:Desktop / openSUSE_11.1)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.27.7-9-pae

When the cube is displayed, and you want to see the side on the right, pressing right will move the cube in the opposite direction.

I think this needs to be reversed. Users want to access the deskop 'at the right', instead of 'rotating the cube in the right direction'. AFAIK compiz had it reversed, and I find the current setting of kwin a bit confusing.

And as easily you could discuss the oposite way. I did the test before implementing it. Asked several people how they would expect it and I got about 50 % for both ways. Guess the only thing we could do is adding a checkbox to the settings to invert.

Agreed :-) and I'd love to see such checkbox :-)
