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 xn-
       lock program.

OPTIONS
       noseguy accepts the following options:

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

       --window-id number

       --install
	       Install a private colormap for the window.

       --visual	visual
	       Specify	which  visual  to use.	Legal values are the name of a

	       file.
