I'm surprised it ever displayed on KDE's root window :)

My understanding is that KDE does an overlay over the actual root
window, and root tail is working, but it's painting the real root window
underneath of that.  I am surprised that it doesn't work in IceWM and
FVW any more, however.  I will investigate and get back to you.

Yes, that is the default.

Here is as appropriate as any - it would be great if it would work
properly with the 'virtual root' overlay that GNOME and KDE use.
Nothing has changed in root-tail in months, however.
