imlibsetroot - A Featureful Wallpaper Setter

Introducing a desktop-independent wallpaper setter with all the features of Esetroot/fbsetroot/awsetbg/etc but none of the dependencies on Eterm/fluxbox/awesome/etc.  It supports xinerama, image scaling, positioning, and tiling, and comes with wrapper to allow it to work as a background setter for GNOME, which I assume is somehow different from a bare windowmanager.

Re: imlibsetroot - A Featureful Wallpaper Setter

alexandrite, is this something that you built?

If not, this should not be in community contribs but rather in Desktop Environments maybe.

I didn't build it, no.  Just found it useful so I uploaded a PKGBUILD for it to the AUR and announced it, so that others might also.  Please feel free to move this thread wherever it should go (except the Dust Bin, I hope )

Beats me.  There was supposed to be a joke in there, but I'm not as funny as I think I am
