saw this on somebody else's machine and just wanted to have it... the best way to see it is to start in a small window and then resize to full screen as soon as it has grabbed the screenshot. it didn't take that long to convert all the X calls to draw ones, but much longer to clean it up into viewable form. i'm sure i haven't cleaned everything :) the non-plan9 code is gnu, so have that in mind if you decide to play with it. andrey ps: other xscreensaver stuff for plan9: http://www.acl.lanl.gov/plan9/xscreensaver
