Does anyone know of a window manager that displays your files as a 3d city like in the movie Jurassic Park or Hackers? I know about bumptop but it makes your desktop look like a desktop (boring).

2The Linux port of fsn is called FSV. The site Nooface lists a bunch of 3D window managers, including fsv, with a variety of effects. Some link are to not just window managers. For example, what better way to kill a process?
One of my favorite YouTube videos compares the hardware-accelerated 3D window managers of Windows Vista ("Aero") and Linux Ubuntu ("Beryl").
It doesn't look like a city, but SphereXP is a 3D desktop manager, where windows are put inside a sphere.
