Its definately possible to have both displayed at the same time - just include 
the text and bitmap in the same display hash.

What's harder would be to locate the snow based on the rendering of the text. If you are cunning you could call $client->render with a display hash containing the text you want to display. This will return a bitmapref for the resulting text, you could then use this to influence the bitmap you want to build for the snow. I would suggest you then call $client->update with the same text definition and bits in the display hash, that way the caching done in the display routines would keep the values of the text.

Mail me off list if you want more info

Mmm I'm kind of there now.
There is snow falling on my softsqueeze!

But the original screensaver overlayed the snow on top of the now
playing display or date screensaver as I recall - is it possible to do
that do you think?
