/* This is a kludge that lets xscreensaver work with SGI demos that expect
   to be run from `haven'.  It runs the program given on the command line,
   then waits for an X window to be created whose name is that of the 
   program.  Then, it resizes that window to fill the screen.  Run it
   like this:

       xscreensaver-sgigl /usr/demos/bin/ep -S
       xscreensaver-sgigl -n ant /usr/demos/General_Demos/ant/RUN
       xscreensaver-sgigl -n atlantis /usr/demos/General_Demos/atlantis/RUN
       xscreensaver-sgigl -n /usr/demos/General_Demos/powerflip/powerflip \
          /usr/demos/General_Demos/powerflip/RUN

   Except that doesn't really work.  You have to do this instead:

       xscreensaver-sgigl -n ant ant.sh

   where ant.sh contains

       #!/bin/sh
       cd /usr/demos/General_Demos/ant
       exec ./ant -S

   There's no way to make this work with powerflip at all, since it doesn't
   take a -S option to run in the foreground.
 */

/* #### Another way to do this would be:
   instead of exec'ing the hack, fork it; then wait for that fork to die.
   If it dies, but the window ID is still valid, then that means the 
   sub-process has forked itself (as those fuckwits at SGI are wont to do.)
   In that case, this process should go to sleep, and set up a signal handler
   that will destroy the X window when it is killed.  That way, the caller
   is given a foreground pid which, when killed, will cause the hack to die
   (by a roundabout mechanism.)

   This would all be so much simpler if those assholes would just:

   1: get out of the habit of writing programs that magically background
      themselves, and

   2: give the fucking programs arguments which control the window size
      instead of always making 100x100 windows!

   I won't even dream of having a "-root" option that understood virtual-roots;
   that would just be too outlandish to even dream about.
