All,

Someone asked this today and I thought it would be interesting to post here. On the evil Redmond platform one can create an "interactive" screen saver. I don't work on the evil Redmond platform so they explained this as a screen saver which is basically an application that does not exit from any ol' user interaction. The user has to click on some defined exit button/link/etc.

In effect, until the user physically exits the application the computer is a single application machine.

The question which was posed to me is multiple parts.

1) Does Ubuntu (and YAU distros) provide such a thing as an "interactive screen saver" on all desktops?
2) If such a creature exists, at least in concept, on Ubuntu "could" it be written with Qt?
3) Assuming 1&2 are true has anyone actually done it or can they post a link to functioning code?

Thanks,
