DESCRIPTION
       A little man with a big nose and a hat runs around spewing
       out  messages  to the screen.  This code (and its bitmaps)
       were extracted from the xnlock program.

OPTIONS
       noseguy accepts the following options:

       -window Draw on	a  newly-created  window.   This  is  the
	       default.

       -root   Draw on the root window.

       -install
	       Install a private colormap for the window.

       -visual visual
	       Specify which visual to use.  Legal values are the
	       name of a visual class, or the id number	 (decimal
	       or hex) of a specific visual.

       -font font
	       The font used for the messages.

       -mode [ program | file | string ]
	       In  program  mode, the messages are gotten by run
	       ning a program.	The program used is controlled by
	       the -program option, and the .program resource.

	       In filename mode, the message used is the contents
	       of a file.  The file used  is  controlled  by  the
	       -file option, and the .filename resource.

	       In string mode, the message is whatever was speci
	       fied on the command line as the -text  option,  or
	       in the resource database as the .text resource.

       -program program
	       If  mode	 is program (the default), then this pro
	       gram will be run periodically, and its output will
	       be  the text of the messages.  The default program
	       is "fortune -s", but yow is also a good choice.

       -filename file
	       If mode is file, then the contents  of  this  file
	       will be used for all messages.

       -text string
	       If mode is string, then this text will be used for
	       all messages.

	       to get the name of a resource file that	overrides
	       the  global  resources stored in the RESOURCE_MAN
	       AGER property.
