I think that's a new screensaver.  I've seen it on my laptop too, but
haven't verified that it is a screensaver.  My other boxes don't have it,
and only my laptop is configured with the default settings for the
screensaver (the others just use the Matrix program).  I could be wrong
though - I haven't really checked on it.
