DESCRIPTION
Loads several random images, and displays them as if lying in a random
pile. The pile is periodically reshuffled, with new images coming in
and old ones being thrown out.
This program requires a good video card capable of supporting large
textures.
To specify the directory that images are loaded from, run xscreensaver-
demo(1) and click on the "Advanced" tab.
