Thanks for mentioning and the solution.
I am working on a new version of xsnow to be submitted to debian within
an month or so.
On sourceforge you find newer versions:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/xsnow/files/
use 2.0.22 if you want the same functionality as in 2.0.19. Use 3.0.3
for an impression of xsnow I am working on now. To see the birds, you
will need a compositing window manager (gnome, xfce, kde, ...)

As a work-around, you can set the DESKTOP_SESSION environment variable,
e.g.:
$ DESKTOP_SESSION=moo xsnow
-- System Information:
Architecture: i386
