Out of curiosity, what benefits does it provide over, say, using xview from the xloadimage package? Smaller binary or resident memory size? Requires less processing power? Easier to use? xview -global -delay 2 /usr/share/pixmaps/* "Can view png, jpeg, gif, tiff, niff, sunraster, fbm, cmuraster, pbm, faces, rle, xwd, vff, mcidas, vicar, pcx, gem, macpaint, xpm and xbm files. Can view images, put them on the root window, or dump them. Does a variety of processing, including: clipping, dithering, depth reduction, zoom, brightening/darkening and merging." I've seen a rash of people reinventing wheels they don't realize have existed since long before modern desktop environments, window managers and, in this case, even the Linux kernel: http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/x/xloadimage/xloadimage_4.1-16/xloadimage.copyright I'd just like to make sure this isn't the case here! ;) -- { IRL(Jeremy_Stanley); PGP(9E8DFF2E4F5995F8FEADDC5829ABF7441FB84657); SMTP([EMAIL PROTECTED]); IRC([EMAIL PROTECTED]); ICQ(114362511); AIM(dreadazathoth); YAHOO(crawlingchaoslabs); FINGER([EMAIL PROTECTED]); MUD([EMAIL PROTECTED]:6669); WWW(http://fungi.yuggoth.org/); } -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
