The large size can be put to use in intro screens. Add flashy
backgrounds and the clown will shift the user from one program to
another, a way to pass time while the disk is loading. Try this on web
pages, too.
Medium sizes bring another choice. You can adjust the speed and
programmers will make the clown move according to disk access. This
will be a fun way to install OS upgrades.
Many users will want a choice of sizes. They will come handy in business and for advertisement. I forsee some Open Source companies making them available on CD-ROM disk.
The small clown is convenient. It fits in a corner so you have
something to look at while programming, or for any boring task. It is
time for managers to understand that little time passers relieve the
burden of your workday, so your productivity will increase. It makes
sense. The clown will advance this.
Finally you can use the clown at the end of a line for a twirling
icon. I saw they used to have these for special DOS programs and it
will benefit Linux to bring this back. 
It
adds a nice touch.
This will be a new day in Linux Desktop history. Perhaps it will be the step that GNU needs to overcome Microsoft; we shall see.
