Not quite just mouse gestures. It actually renders the web pages in a way that, to a passer-by, you appear to be working on your big marketing presentation and not reading Slashdot.
To quote the site (since it has, of course, been./ed):
Ghostzilla is a browser for surfing the Web when you don't want anyone to physically see what you are doing. It renders Web pages to look indistinguishable from your work screen. You make it disappear instantly with one move of your hand and bring it back with another. Ghostzilla can show Web pages discreetly within literally any application you work with.
To see how Ghostzilla makes the illusion of not being there for anyone but its user, take a look at the screenshots and a video of its usage.
Better than sticking your nose on the laptop monitor, methinks...
It is self-righteous attitudes such as yours that brand the Linux users as zealots and their comments idiotic.
I am a pretty happy owner of various Linux boxes, both as web servers as well as sql servers and I have never had a problem with reading the fucking manual regarding a problem I have had in my work. But I am not prepared to WASTE time for something that in my opinion should be there in the first place.
If you think that Linux desktop users should WASTE their time trying to figure out how the hell to put their system to use, then permit me to say that YOU are the problem, since you seem to think that everyone who runs Linux should know how to "write an easily configurable interface". If it works for you, great. It did not work for me, and I voiced my opinion.
How typical. I do NOT want to read the manual on a bazillion things that have to be "easily" configured when they could, as easily, be configured through a checkbox. If it's there, why the hell not make it more visible? I mean, if the detection routines are intelligent enough to find my dual head display card and my two monitors, why the hell can they not automatically configure the display?
or rather the apparent lack of it, was one of the reasons that put me off from keeping Redhat on my main box. I have a very nice configuration of two monitors at home, with the secondary monitor mainly for watching videos and checking the email while doing (ahem) serious work, and I could not find an _EASY_ way of doing it.
I am sure that a lot of you will give me pointers to where I could have gone to download the relevant software but you would think that a distribution as complete as Redhat would find some space in those five cds to put the drivers / programs needed.

I don't mean to troll, but are there any _existing_ applications / games that would benefit from this?
