- yeah, and believe it or not, this behaviour was designed in! what you'll
- see is the image growing larger and larger as it allocates memory to buffer
- any incoming events. this even includes update events to dxclock! a real
- bad idea is to pause your screen before going on a long holiday.
-
- a potential work-around is to, instead, use xlock, available at an
- ftp site near you. i recommend "xlock -mode flame"
