Hey, thanks for this bug report, but there are two notions there:
- the wall plugin (the one which has the button in the laucher), is an unity dependency.
Unity depends on a "largedesktop" feature, which is provided by both wall and cube, so both are compatible and at least one of the two should be enabled to unity to be enabled. There is no issue there.
- the expo plugin is used when you click on a launcher icon when the application as already the focus (and that you have more than one intance of this application). This one expose all windows from your current application. We detect the dependency at startup and if it's not there, the feature is simply disabled, so it's not mandatory.
Putting the report as Invalid there. Thanks for your bug report and do not hesitate to file any other issue you can encounter. :)

When I disable Expo plugin (Desktop Wall is enabled) and click launcher icon there is no reaction. When I enable it again it gives me desktops preview.

With two Chrome windows open when I press on Chrome icon in launcher I get preview of them even with Expo plugin disabled.

Enabling "Rotate Cube" enables "Desktop Cube" which conflicts with "Desktop Wall" which is required by "Unity" - that's what ccsm just told me.

We need to discuss that with sam, as it was part of his initial presentation to me about the different of wall and expo, and that's why we added the "largedesktop" feature there.

> Enabling "Rotate Cube" enables "Desktop Cube" which conflicts with "Desktop Wall" which is required by "Unity" - that's what ccsm just told me.
This is because of this feature set, this is totally wanted (but maybe sam meant "expo" instead of Wall. In this case, how to not loose the exposing window capability?

Will ping Sam on that!

Wall and cube are responsible for switching desktops with keybindings - hence they conflict. Expo does not provide this feature.

If you wanted to enforce those features being available, I see no problem with making unityshell depend on expo and scale for now.
