Is there any program which can run a 'live wallpaper' like the ones in Android?
I've searched quite a bit but haven't found anything usable yet. anibg looks promising, but it is not working in 12.10.

Best Answer
You can use a video file or a screensaver as your wallpaper with VDesk, which can be downloaded here: http://www.gnome-look.org/CONTENT/content-files/141678-VDesk_1.3.zip.
Just download the file, extract it, open a terminal window,
cd
to the folder where you extracted the archive, and runsudo ./installer && ./VDesk
.Next you'll get a very simple wizard which allows you to use a video file or a screensaver as your wallpaper.
