If you want your login to look better, I'd recommend looking at gdm or
another xdm clone.  They tend to actually look semi-decent rather than
just being a white box with "Login:" and "Password:"

If you're into wasting CPU cycles, you could also try some programs like
ripple (xripple?) that will make it look like you have water on your
screen..

Another idea would be to run xlock on the background ;-)

Of course, with all of these, you'll probably want some way to kill them
gracefully..  I don't know how to do that, unfortunately..
