I'm pretty sure those sites don't really have live radar, but rather updated images every so often. That said, I'm not sure how you'd work it onto the KDE desktop, but Gkrellkam is useful for bringing in those images. Gqview, as the preferred image viewer of same will set the background wallpaper (at least for IceWM and Xfce4) to a chosen image. Perhaps a cron job could combine these two actions and run every fifteen minutes or so. It wouldn't be a screensaver, but... Cybe R. Wizard -- Unofficial "Wizard of Odds," A.H.P.
