Okay, I’ll try to explain what the frell that last screenshot was:

Clockwise, we have: w3m, my web browser; an ssh link to my server displaying irssi, an IRC client; a terminal where I had just exited alsamixer, a volume control; mplayer, playing an MP3; TTYtter, a Twitter client, and a terminal where I had just issued the command to take the screenshot. Whew.
