DESCRIPTION

       The image that it manipulates will be grabbed from the portion  of  the
       screen underlying the window, or from the system's video input, or from
       a random file on disk, as indicated by the grabDesktopImages, grabVide‐
       oFrames,	 and  chooseRandomImages  options in the ~/.xscreensaver file;
       see xscreensaver-demo(1) for more details.
