That's what I call "bad hack" because it is not a general approach to a problem that... > xsnow and xpenguin do have a tendency to fight with kdesktop. ...you then have with those two programs. I can _all_ three of them at once and they work but only if kdesktop is _not_ running. Ok, xsnow and xpenguin overdraw each other a bit but they work. Obviously kdesktop is unable to create the desktop with another program managing the background directly (like xplanet). Or maybe it's the concept of X that makes this impossible?
