The Lucid packages from the PPA work in Maverick, but you have to download them manually.

Here are the direct download links from the PPA:

CoverGloobus 1.6 "WOW!" lives up to its name – an awesome application for displaying cover art and lyrics on your desktop

PPA

Enter a terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal) and use:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gloobus-dev/covergloobus
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install covergloobus

Tar

Download from the website, extract, enter the directory and run:

./autogen.sh && make && sudo make install

As said before, there is no maverick ppa. But you can use the lucid ppa, if you prefer to install by ppa rather than .deb, and also to be updated: in a terminal run

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

Then copy and paste the following at the end of the file:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/gloobus-dev/covergloobus/ubuntu lucid main 
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/gloobus-dev/covergloobus/ubuntu lucid main

Finally, update sources and install:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install covergloobus

Addendum to @hhlp: CoverGloobus 1.6 "WOW!" lives up to its name ...

TAR

Better use checkinstall, this resutls in a .deb package. If you like to revert to a previous version, be sure to first uninstall the old version (sudo apt-get remove covergloobus):

sudo apt-get install checkinstall
./autogen.sh && checkinstall make install
