[ANN] Moving Wallpaper demo

[John Ridge]

Hugh, thanks - this is a great demo! The panning effect stutters a  
little, even on a 2Mz iMac with Tiger - I don't have access to a fast  
Windows machine, but I'd like to know if it runs more smoothly there.

I've also been experimenting with transitions other than the "cross  
fade" that you've made the default. I'm using the "answer effect"  
command to get the QT dialog, fiddling with the parameters then  
loading the result into a custom property -

     answer effect
     set the cTransition of this stack to it

then later I can

     unlock screen with visual the cTransition of this stack

Which is a good way of finding out about the various effects. I  
hadn't realised that you can save them as .qfx files. This looks  
handy, but I haven't yet found how to load one using Rev (i.e. not in  
the QT dialog). Is there a simple trick that I've missed?
