Assuming decent translucency support is available, it might be cooler to
make the desktop "fade" into view (window on top with whatever in it,
it's quickly made more and more translucent until it hits transparency,
and then is removed).

This would be some serious overkill for weak machines, tho, any such
option would need to be able to be disabled easily.
