For something interesting (like you don't have ENOUGH cluttering your desktop already) you can download the Solar Weather Browser from the Solar Influences Data Analysis Center,
I'd like to get something that'd put a real-time video feed on my desktop. (I recently added a third monitor - gotta have something to fill it up. Task manager on the right, main browsing on the center, don't have anything on the left when I'm not watching some video...) The SOHO NASA site's got some 'real time' images, but not a real-time feed. Ah, well - wait a few years...
Gotta admit - it's interesting what you can find on the internet!
Update - the Solar Weather Browser doesn't seem to function on my system. Hope you have better luck...
Update 2 - the OLDER version seems to be working properly. Go figure...

I'm sorry but your geekyness index may have just progressed beyond acute and well into the severe range.

What pushed it over the edge, John? The third monitor or the Solar Weather Browser?

Third monitor mostly.
Desktop image on third monitor didn't hurt any.

I've still got one video port left. Might be a bit much to go to 4 monitors with the rig I've got, though...
