Depends on what you mean by “a while”. The cube is known since a decade, but was lost to old tech based on compiz. Since then some people tried to bring it back on the newer desktop environments through extensions and a new implementation of the idea. I think someone wrote an extension for GNOME before. The version on KDE is independent from that and different.
That’s been around for a while hasn’t it?

compiz and emerald, wow I was not expecting to unlock that memory tonight!
Yeah, that about lines up with the last time I saw it I think and compiz sounds familiar. Cool to see they brought it back!
i also remember having the cube around the same time in OSX somehow but I forget the method
