QCosmos
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
A very nice screen saver of the the cosmos, complete with an infinite field of stars whizzing past your screen as rotating planets, asteroids and space ships randomly appear against multicolored galaxies off in the distance. Installation is very simple works great for all X11 with QT4 installed. I will try to build some pre-compiled packages when I get time.

I am getting this more often than not. Running KDE 3.5, Qt 4.3.3, QMake 2.01a
Also, how do I set it up as a screen saver in KDE? I ran qcosmos -setup and and got a setup screen to enter parameters, but it don't show up in KDE screen saver list
Very nice app otherwise. :)

So, by the way, why don't you try to improve qcosmos since you went through the trouble to make it for qt4? I could post you my textures, but I don't know/remember all the sources and some might be copyrighted. However, here's a good place to start:
http://simsolsys.com/
It includes links of it's sources. Also don't forget to use Celestial textures.
It would also be nice if you could program some other improvements, like drawing shadows on the planets or changing the camera angle. It's truly a very nice screensaver, but it can become even better.
Just a few ideas.

You probable need the QT devel packages to obtain qmake.
