Use a Web page as Screensaver (Linux)

Question

Heyo,

Is there an easy way to use a web page as a screen saver under Linux? preferably without allowing any interaction with whats presented.

I'd like idle admin desktops to show our network monitoring page.

Thanks

The KDE Plasma Desktop allows "Widgets on the screensaver". You could use this to display the "Web browser widget" on the screensaver.

It's also possible to code your own widget in JavaScript or Python, making the interactions more restricted.

	The web page widgets are not available to me in the screensaver setup mode -- any ideas why? – K Robinson Apr 2 at 18:13
	The set of widgets is limited, to avoid a security hole. A webbrowser is quite hard to confine :) (or maybe they were just a bit conservative) – vdboor Apr 2 at 21:55
