So, that support is in 4.0.6, but not 4.2, right?  I was fooling around
with xsnow a few days ago and was surprised to see it work.

Brian, since you know enough about this, can you take a look at my
latest favorite eyecandy, xdesktopwaves (well, its manual):

Will the options they have allow it to work with 4.2?  They seem to
default writing to a backdrop window on the root.
