Did not work, but maybe there there is a clue here because this middle 
tab is...
completely empty! There is a one-line text box into which you can type a 
search term and a much
bigger box which presumably should contain a long list of effects which 
I should be able to play with.
This is weird because the system clearly does know about available 
effects because on the first tab I
have set (for example) : Effect for window switching to "Box Switch" 
from a pick-list.

Yes and the result is all desktop effects are disable with a message on 
the main tab of the desktop effects module which says:
"Desktop effects are not available on this system due to the following 
technical issues:" (Blank space below...)
