Browse your filesystem in 3D

I guess we all remember Jurassic Park, and especially one feature of this movie: The "Unix-system" with that cool 3D file-browser. Well that file-browser was SGI's 3D File System Navigator, which also helps us to know what that "Unix-system" really was, Irix.
For everybody who also wants something like this on his box I'd suggest to take a look at fsv, the 3D File System Visualizer.
It doesn't only display your filesystem in a cool 3D-view, it also gives you an optical representation of file- and directory-sizes.
Of course this is nothing for everyday's work, but it's a nice toy to show off to your friends. Wink alt
So, when you ask yourself now where your files are, maybe they are somewhere at the back on the left side. Wink alt

(up to date archlinux, "mobility" radeon 9700 using Free driver)

Hmm, I don't have that

Hmm, I don't have that problem. And I'm also using the free ATI drivers.
I just can't use tree-view because some library is missing, so the program crashes when I switch to tree-view.

Yes, it crashed while

Yes, it crashed while switching to tree-view, and froze the system. It may or may not have something to do with my X configuration being adapted to Beryl's requirements, I don't use Beryl at the moment, though.
