How to draw on desktop with python
I would like to draw on the root window like conky or nautilus does? Is it possible in python? My favourite GUI library is Tkinter, but I do not think it is capable of such a task.
Edit: I do not want to mess with pyxlib, it seems to be orphaned long ago.

The "desktop" is called the "root window". Searching for "python draw on root window" came up with this tutorial: http://zetcode.com/gfx/pycairo/root/
