How to use a video as "desktop wallpaper" on linux

This screencast shows you how to use a video as a "desktop wallpaper" on linux. I'm using Ubuntu, but i'm quite sure this little trick can be achieved by any other distribution as long as the requirement met. You will need mplayer and xwinwrap, and the video formats supported depend on installed codecs. You can download the package for xwinrap here (for debian based distribution).
