DESCRIPTION
The slip program does lots of blits and
chews up an image.
The image that it manipulates will be grabbed from the portion
of the screen underlying the window, or from the system's video
input, or from a random file on disk, as indicated by the
grabDesktopImages, grabVideoFrames, and
chooseRandomImages options in the ~/.xscreensaver
file; see xscreensaver-demo(1)
for more details.
