I recall not being able to use the top and bottom faces, for instance. But maybe that was just the KDE implementation.

True, you could not when using compiz with gnome either, as I did back then.
You could add more faces to the cube so that it became a slice of a pentagonal prism, hexagonal prism, heptagonal, octagonal etc. Or take one away so you were working on the sides of a triangular prism.
But you're right, there was no vertical freedom of movement. You couldn't use a Rhombicuboctahedron, cool as it might be :) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhombicuboctahedron)
