BackLight provides a menu extra (really an NSStatusItem, which are fully supported in Jaguar) that allows you to turn your screensaver on and off as your desktop background.
Backlight can also change your screensaver and open the preferences.

Having your screensaver on your desktop is quite a cool effect, but you should probably have a Quartz Extreme-capable machine if you want to handle the load.

What's New:
Added Panther and Expose support
Fixed compatibility issue with Konfabulator
Added option to set the window's transparency
Apple's Screen Effects Engine no longer used.
