after a very long while of poking around, i think i finally have a setup that's going to stick. my gdm has a couple of panels that can be shown or hidden by clicking the cat's eye nebula in the top left, just in case i don't feel like logging in or am letting someone whom i don't completely trust use my compooper to check email or something. both the gdm and my desktop share a backdrop slideshow of different nebulae, real and fictional. i swapped out gnome-panel for xfce4-panel, because the first was a bit slow, and added a custom lipik notes theme and tilda dropdown. oh, and my gdm loops randomly through a collection of space-oriented mp3's (using mpg123) and displays metadata via libnotify =D
