what about using splashy?  it doesn't require a kernel rebuild and is in 
experimental or you can add:

   deb http://splashy.Alioth.debian.org/debian/ unstable main
   deb-src http://splashy.Alioth.debian.org/debian/ unstable main

to your sources list ..
easier than a recompile and pretty much does the same thing.
