fish tank desktop background?

2001-10-11 Thread Kurt Lieber
So this is admittedly unimportant and frivolous,  but when I first saw Debian 
in use a few years ago, the computer I saw had a fish tank set as the desktop 
background with fish swimming around, bubbles rising and other cool stuff.  
(not the screensaver -- the desktop)  I always thought it was pretty cool and 
have been looking for it without success.

Does anyone know what it was called/where I can get it?

Related: I've now seen, twice, a little fish swim across my gnome desktop.
I have three widescreen displays so this lasts for several minutes.  I
think it is an easter egg in Nautilus perhaps?

I think it is very endearing.

So I'm not going crazy! I've seen something similar.

I don't have Nautilus installed though. Gnome itself?

Thanks. I'd put it down to hallucinations due to a lack of sleep. :)

Still, I'd rather they didn't do that. My first thought was root-kit
with a sense of humour
