- *logo and *logoFullScreen are for changing the logo that is displayed
- on the graphics screen when the workstation is waiting for someone to
- log in. Right now, the logo displayed is the digital(tm) logo.
-
- You will need to use another program to display graphics on the background
- (root window). There are many available on the net: xv, xgif, etc... plus
- there are other graphics programs that run on the root window: xneko,
- xaquarium, etc.
-
- I'm sure someone else here can point you toward sources and executables.
