How to set webcam video as desktop background?

I use a webcam to monitor inbound traffic, etc. for my office and would like to be able to set my desktop background to be a live feed from my webcam on my secondary or both monitors. How would one go about setting that up on Ubuntu?

One option would also be to set Cheese as a background app as it works relatively well at the moment, but the background live wallpaper approach would be better.
