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, grabVide-
oFrames, and chooseRandomImages options in the ~/.xscreensaver file;
see xscreensaver-demo(1) for more details.
