! To display a randomized slideshow of images, you can do something like this:
!
! xscreensaver-sgigl /usr/sbin/ep -S
!
+! (But note that, on non-SGIs, the bundled "stonerview" hack is a decent
+! clone of "ep". Yay!)
+!
! You can also use the "ant" demo, but first you need to wrap a shell script
! around it that cds to its home directory, so that it can find its files;
! and also pass it the -S argument, to prevent it from forking. What a mess!
