DESCRIPTION
     lockward draws a spinning, rotating set of  notched  wheels  overlaid  with
     some  flashing  effects,  using  OpenGL.	It's a sort of cross between the

	     Enables/disables the blinking effects.  Default: Enabled.

     --fps   Display the current frame rate, CPU load, and polygon count.

     --rotateidle-min milliseconds

     --rotateidle-max milliseconds
	     The  minimum  and	maximum time each spinner will sit idle, in mil-
	     liseconds.  Defaults: Min 1000, max 6000.

     --blinkidle-min milliseconds

     --blinkidle-max milliseconds
	     The minimum and maximum time between blinking effects, in millisec-
	     onds.  Defaults: Min 1000, max 9000.

     --blinkdwell-min milliseconds

     --blinkdwell-max milliseconds
	     The minimum and maximum dwell time for  the  blinking  effects,  in
