Maybe it's not Christmas season yet but xsnow is now available from
extras-devel. ;)

Notice that you need to kill it from the terminal, it does not have any
quit button on it, and that it goes on your current desktop (make sure
you have some applets on it).

The PR1.2 version of hildon-desktop still has some bugs related to the
live background feature. Those are fixed in the git master and should be
in the next SW update also. But it is usable, just may need some
workarounds.
