how to do moving background?
i have this drempel background on my windows patition and it really rocks. it gives a constantly moving background, i guess it sorta randomly morphs an image to create the effect, making for a rather psychadelic coolness. does anyone know how to do this on linux as i do not like to be stuck using windows nor do i like windows looking better than linux.
by the way you really should try it, and at high speed it is rather exhilirating

try (as root or do SU):
/usr/X11R6/lib/xscreensaver/(screensavername) -root
This will run the specified screensaver as your wallpaper. I like flurry, its similar to drempels.
Its much more efficiant that Windows, it will usually run with almost 0 lag, just a little processor being used.
At kde-look.org, this is a screensaver that copies the mac "fading image" effect, if you like that stuff.

This is really cool, but I was wondering, is there anyway so that the screensaver doesn't go over my icons.
