I have tried several times in UBUNTU 15.10 to run the cool looking eye candy option of the Desktop Cube with small to catastrophic failures. Any advice?

I cannot recommend it at all.
Generally the features it provided were moved to more pertinent locations with the advent of Unity, and in some cases nixed. Unity was developed in a completely different mantra - I would not expect smooth sailing, and many, many conflicts.
I'm quite surprised it's still available these days. I remember running Eve Online fondly with desktop cube running!

For now, there isn't really an alternative.
Kind Regards
