Comment 4 for bug 459498

I'm running the electricsheep package from Debian, on Karmic:

$ apt-cache policy electricsheep
electricsheep:
  Installed: 2.7~b12+svn20090708-1
  Candidate: 2.7~b12+svn20090708-1
  Version table:
 *** 2.7~b12+svn20090708-1 0
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     2.6.8-9ubuntu1 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com karmic/universe Packages

This version downloads sheep from the correct server. When run from the command line, it does display sheep in an mplayer window. However, when running as a screensaver, the screen remains blank and no sheep are ever displayed, even after a good while.

I'm running Compiz, but the bug can be reproduced when running plain metacity.
