- It is possible to determine the window ID of the pause window. With that in
- hand, any application can draw whatever it wishes to it. I have a version of
- the xneko (kitten that chases the mouse) program that locates the pause window
- and draws to it, so when I pause my session, I get a cat that chases around the
- cursor (which of course is mouse-shaped).
