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.
