The xsnow
application, which generates an animated snowfall effect (and other
pleasant diversions) for X11 desktops, does not seem like an obvious
channel for political statements. Nevertheless, xsnow's maintainer
seems to have included a political protest in the program: an
Easter egg that is triggered when the program's language is set to Russia ("ru"). One user has complained that this functionality should be
removed from the Debian xsnow
package, but Debian does not seem to have any rules that forbid
such a feature outright.
