Re: [wmii] Yet another Background/Wallpaper Question

Are you people fucking retarded?!?!

First of all screen backgrounds are useless and idiotic, if you like
nice pictures hang a painting on your wall.

And even if we ignore that; *what the hell* does a window manager have
to do with with setting your X background? Have GNOME and KDE made
everyone in this planet terminally braindead?

Peace
