I'd love to run this on my root X window, but xfce seems
to want to cover it up with its own desktop.  Even
tried a transparent image as a background, but it still
covered the root window with a solid color.

Does anyone know how to get xfce to get out of the way,
and let me see the root X window in all its glory?

Also:  did a diff -r with the code from xearth.org, and
it's all the same code.  (That's a good thing. :)

Thanks,
