- I see this behaviour only when a DOS or windows app with idle
- sensitivity=100 is running. Apparently, Deskpic runs at the lowest
- priority, and an open DOS or Windows app with idle sens=100 will suck
- enough CPU to starve Deskpic, which will then stall.

- This was true with GA as well. With the CSD, spheres and aquarium work
- so I would say things are better now than before.
