Thanks for the info. I just looked at compiz-scheme and it seems to be 
able to to what I want, but it may take me some time to figure scheme :)
Looks really nice :)

move-window window dx dy - Move window by dx and dy in the x and y 
coordinates respectively.

move-window-to window pos-x pos-y - Move window window to pos-x and 
pos-y. No checking is done for viewport bounds.

x,y are top left corner ? I may hardcode coordinates for each desktop. 
Is there a way to know how big desktop is and how many sides my cube 
plugin uses so I could divide that and get start coordinates of each 
viewport ?

Also, is there a way to remove window decoration from a specific window 
? Cant find it in you docs.
