[ale] root apps

[Mark Angeli]

Where do you set that?

I've been running that zmatrix thing on my windows box since it was
posted... and I must say its very cool....

Also, where can I dl xmatrix for the screensaver?

In KDE you just set the desktop configuration to "allow applications desktop
window", and run your screensaver with the --root option.

In Gnome, I think all you have to do is run the screensaver with the --root
option (but I've not been running the latest version of Gnome to know for
sure- with earlier versions this was true).

I don't think I've ever tried it in Enlightenment, but it would stand to
reason that if the WM allows eterm to run in the root window, it would allow
a screensaver.

In Blackbox, FVWM, and OpenLook, all you have to do is run the screensaver
with the --root option as well.

I'm running the KDE version of the matrix on my desktop right now...
