NAME
    xsetiathome - display SETI data under X Windows

SYNOPSIS
    xsetiathome [-fullscreen]

DESCRIPTION
	xsetiathome is a graphical display for setiathome.
	To use xsetiathome, you must run setiathome with the -graphics flag. 

	A typical invocation of xsetiathome will look like this:

	> setiathome -graphics &
	> xsetiathome

	Alternatively, xsetiathome can be executed in screensaver mode,
	which requires an external application such as xautolock.

OPTIONS
    -fullscreen
	Take over the entire display.  When running in this mode, any mouse
	presses will exit the application.

KNOWN BUGS
	Please note, this xsetiathome binary is an initial experiment.
	We are fully aware that it may have some significant bugs and
	we are continuing to work on it.  Please do not report bugs
	on this binary at this time.

	Only one instance of 'setiathome -graphics' can be operating at
	any one time on a system.  There is no conflict resolution with
	the allocated shared memory segments and semaphores.  Therefore,
	only one instance of xsetiathome is practical.

	Outstanding shared memory segments and semaphores may be left
	active in case of an abnormal exit of the 'setiathome -graphics'
	process.  These can prevent any future invocation of
	'setiathome -graphics'.  To resolve this problem, use 'ipcs'
	and 'ipcrm' to remove shared memory segments and semaphores that
	are not associated with a process.  This behavior may vary
	depending upon how your UNIX system handles this situation.
	See also ipcs(1) and ipcrm(1)

	The xsetiathome process may affect system performance adversely.
	This behavior may vary depending upon your version of the
	X11 Windowing system client libraries and/or your X server
	and its operating mode/visual depth.
