Correction - _I_ at least needed (just found out the hard way) the path
to xloadimage:
31 * * * * /usr/X11R6/bin/xloadimage -onroot etc
Turns out that the path for the crontab entries isn't the same,
necessarily, as in your normal bash environment.
The image didn't update as it should have this last hour - that's how I
noticed. Had to be the path :-)
