DESCRIPTION

       A  little  man  with a big nose and a hat runs around spewing out messages to the screen.  This code (and
       its bitmaps) were extracted from the xnlock program.

       -window Draw on a newly-created window.  This is the default.

       -root   Draw on the root window.

               You  can  configure  the  text  printed through the "Advanced" tab of xscreensaver-demo(1), or by
               editing your ~/.xscreensaver file.

       -filename file
