My bad. Forgot that Nautilus takes over the desktop, xsnow is working, just
behind Nautilus.
Comment 3 Chris Ricker 2001-12-06 20:12:21 UTC 
I'm reopening this bug.  Xsnow doesn't work in KDE either (just times out
forever on select()).  If RH's going to ship it, it should work with the desktop
environments used by RH....
