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-settings(1) for	more details.
