Hey guys, remember when windows would crash, and if you tried to move a window it would leave trails of the window on the screen? Almost like a massive feedback loop!

Well, Linux doesn't do that and I sure miss it. So, I wrote this little script that would try to immitate that behavior in X!

Code:
#!/bin/bash

while :; do
 echo -n "Taking shot ... "
 import -window root ~/images/screenshots/root.png
 qiv -x ~/images/screenshots/root.png
 echo "done."
done
What this does is very simple: It will take a screenshot of your desktop then set it as your root image.

Unfortunately, 'import' is slow as a mofo and it's not quite like the real thing.

Here is a screenshot of me doing it on my system:

Keep in mind that there is only one window open in that picture.
