[OpenID] Live Icons for visual recognition of IDP logos

[Johannes Ernst]

And then we'll all play a game of "catch my IdP"?

There used to be this piece of software for the Atari (probably for  
other platforms, too), that would suddenly spring into action, make a  
mosquito fly around your screen, turn your mouse pointer into a  
mosquito swat, and prevent you from doing anything on your computer  
until you managed to catch the fly. Very hilarious.

I was always waiting for the version that one could run on somebody  
else's X11 display. Your proposal sounds like I'm getting what I  
wanted, for all platforms ;-)
