I decided to compile and install those funky Compiz plugins from this (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=660966&highlight=compiz+plugins) how-to...

I set up the rotating cube screensaver and waited for it to start.When it did I thought "That's nifty..." and went to grab a bite.When I came back half an hour later I realized I never even thought about disabling my Electricsheep screensaver.

This Is what I came back to...Electricsheep was running on top of the rotating cube screensaver.

Screens don't really do the effect justice.It looks awesome in motion.

Was that intentional?

Other than being completely useless to you, it looks pretty sweet!

A little bit off topic, but what kind of icons do you use? :KS

Cool! The second one kinda reminded me of the Borg Cube! :D

These (http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Gnome%2BHumanElephant+Savane%2BMarine+?content=755 00) are the icons in the screenshot.

I'm curious to know whether this works for others or if my setup is just some freak of nature ;)

One thing that is necessary is to have the cube screensaver start first...if your regular screensaver comes on first that is all you see.
