    In every window on my computer, I have an animation playing consisting of brown particles flying up, falling down and then disappearing. Below this it says "FLiNT Free open-source particle system written in Actionscript 3" (which is how I found this site). The animation can only be seen on any area in a window that is white. It moves with me as I change workspaces. I am running Ubuntu 11.10 64-bit. I cannot find any process relevant to this animation. I do not remember ever installing FLiNT. I tried to get some screenshots, but it does not show up in any system-rendered screenshots. If someone wants one, I could get it with an offscreen picture. Please help me get rid of this!

    I restarted Chrome and it went away even after restarting. I'm not sure this is solved because I've done this before and the animation remained. I'm guessing this means it's because of a tab that I closed that didn't restart. So I guess I (probably) don't need more help, but I'll leave this here in case any of you devs want to look into why the animation remained playing in windows other than where it was started.

    After a bit of testing, it appears that the animation appears whenever I open Chrome, except when one of the tabs it restores upon opening is from flintparticles.org. This makes no sense, but it means I'm going to be keeping this tab open forever until I find another fix.

    Hi Arctem

    That sounds strange. I don't recognise the particle effect you're describing. Flint is an Actionscript library, so can be used to create particle effects in Flash projects. So what you're seeing is a Flash movie. I don't know why it's displaying in every window of your computer. Sorry I can't help more.
