"X Set Root Image"
This is a simple app that does nothing much -- and uses a bazillion gtk2
libraries to do it. However, that means it can do nothing much, but
with STYLE.
Setting the root image isn't very effective when using cygwin-X's
multiwindow mode, UNLESS you've got rxvt-unicode-X's inheritPixmap
option turned on (see followup ITP).
However, xsri is still useful with other window managers, if you don't
want to use kcontrol or gnomecontrol or whatever -- because it uses the
(semi-)standard xatom "ESETROOT_PMAP_ID" and "_XROOTPMAP_ID" mechanisms.
from startwin.bat:
xsri --center-x --center-y --scale-height=100 --scale-width=100
--keep-aspect --emblem=<full cygwin path to image>
