DESCRIPTION
       The slip program does lots of blits and chews up an image.

       The image that it manipulates will  be  grabbed  from  the
       portion  of  the screen underlying the window, or from the
       system's video input, or from a random file  on  disk,  as
       indicated  by  the grabDesktopImages, grabVideoFrames, and
       chooseRandomImages options in  the  ~/.xscreensaver  file;
       see xscreensaver-demo(o) for more details.

       slip accepts the following options:
