      @costascontis I managed to do something like this using XScreensaver. None of the 3D or GPU accelerated screensavers will run well on the Pi, but anything that draws 2D line art will work. I set it so the OS was not in charge of starting and stopping the screensaver, but instead wrote a simple module that started the screensaver from the command line after some minutes of inactivity, and a notification from the PIR Sensor module would disable it. Made for some nice moving artwork when the mirror was not in use.
