Use as a screensaver or on desktop ? about gource HOT 8 OPEN

xscreensaver compatibility is a good idea. That's probably enough by itself. The
random content selection stuff can always be done by an intermediate script or
xscreensaver itself for that matter.

any updates with this issue? I am really think that screensaver will be killer 
feature. 

Hi. I was having a look at this yesterday.

I'm still trying to find an example of how to get SDL to use the root window 
that I can apply to Gource.

Any update on this feature ?
I saw that there was a branch xscreensaver long ago with this feature, any hope 
to merge these changes back to the main branch ?

Hi.

I was hoping to support screensavers on other platforms but on Windows 
screensaver support is a mess.

I can probably merge this in the near future.

I couldn't get the xscreensaver branch to compile, but I _did_ successfully 
rebase it onto master, cf:
https://github.com/atondwal/Gource/
https://github.com/atondwal/Core

Gource *can* in fact be displayed on the xscreensaver window (probably the same 
for gnome-screensaver though untested) setting the SDL Environment-Variable 
SDL_WINDOWID. In our case to $XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW. 

The Envvar works on X11 Systems, and supposedly also on Win32 though we did not 
test the latter.
