bgs - back ground setter
========================
bgs is an extremely fast and small background setter for X.
Requirements
------------
In order to build bgs you need the Xlib and Imlib2 header files.
Installation
------------
Edit config.mk to match your local setup (bgs is installed into
the /usr/local namespace by default).
Afterwards enter the following command to build and install bgs (if
necessary as root):
    make clean install
Running bgs
-----------
Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start bgs using startx:
    bgs <image> &
In order to connect bgs to a specific display, make sure that
the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.:
    DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 bgs <image> &
(This will start bgs on display :1 of the host foo.bar.)
In order to have a different image on each monitor you can specify
multiple images (one per monitor), e.g.:
    DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 bgs <image1> <image2> &
(This will display image1 on monitor 1 and image2 on monitor 2.)
