Is there a way I can make my Desktop background my webcam feed from iSight?

Download this quartz composition I made.
iSightBackground.qtz.zip

Move the .qtz to users/###/Library/Screen Savers

Then get Wallify, double click it to install it into the dashboard and then click the little i. Now choose the quartz composition, this way you can have a different desktop screensaver than the real screensaver.
Turn it around again and click it, the text will turn blue and you should see it change the desktop in a few seconds.
Download Wallify for Mac - Widget runs a screen saver behind all your icons on your desktop. MacUpdate.com

Note however that this will take a lot of CPU power. On my Mac it takes 41% CPU power.
