"Asciiquarium is an aquarium/sea animation in ASCII art." This is actually a Perl script that was written by Kirk Baucom and was somehow developed into a screensaver for KDE. I would love to see this as a Gnome screensaver in Ubuntu. I have been looking at the screensavers that come packaged with Ubuntu but can't seem to figure out how to go about creating my own screensaver using the asciiquarium script. Anyone have any ideas on how to make this work as a Gnome screensaver? It doesn't seem like it should be all that difficult, and if anyone might be able to point me in the right direction, I'd sure appreciate it!

After installing the screensaver (kdescreensaver-aasaver), I can run the asciiquarium application itself (not the screensaver, but just the actual asciiquarium app) by executing /usr/bin/ ./asciiquarium.kss. It's pretty neat to see all of the colored ascii fish, sharks, whales, ships, etc, gliding across your screen.

Perhaps I should be asking this question on a Gnome forum, not sure. Thanks in advance for any assistance you can give!
