I think it was a bug with 3.4.1, tonight I have updated to 3.4.2 and it started working again (Arch Linux with KDE Plasma)

I installed as usual but this year xsnow wont' show anything on the desktop (archlinux with gnome shell latest). Any clue?

thanks

This is a modern remake of the classical xsnow 1.42 (2001!), which doesn't work well on recente DEs. At first I attempted to build from sources, but I cannot remember the specific reason I stopped trying and just repackaged the .deb file.

What is different between this and the xsnow aur package?

and this package just extracts the deb package, could you put up a pkgbuild that builds this from source?
