root window background

[schweiz@example.com (Jim Schweizer)]

Hi all,

A while back we were talking about stupid tricks with the root window, and I
don't remember if this one got mentioned but.....

I was reading the Linux Gazette and came across:

So I tried it...it's great;-) One note though. If Netscape is already
running then no problem when you fire xfishtank up, but if you start
xfishtank then try to start Netscape - forget it. (At least on my 486/66)

Regards
