That's what I call "bad hack" because it is not a general approach to a
problem that...

...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?
