And don't forgot Xeyes

And like Solitaire's "it's a tool to teach mouse use", I always thought the "it's a utility to track the mouse, not just a bit of whimsy" was a bit of retconing, but I have no real proof.

I believe Imguror had something like that for their 404 page with some animals following the cursor with their eyes. Always enjoyed that.

Didn't GitHub do that too? I seem to remember a framed picture of a giraffe in a top hat (imgur) and an octopus cat in the Tattooine desert (GitHub).

If you are on Linux, just run xeyes. Classic. :)

xeyes was another wayland casualty sadly. I hope someone figures out a way to build wayland_eyes

For security reasons that's outside the scope of the core protocol. But don't worry, all it would take is for someone to develop an eye-following protocol and for the compositors to implement it.

It really is better, folks. Daniel Stone talk!
