DESCRIPTION
       A little man with a big nose and a hat runs around spewing out messages
       to the screen.  This code (and its bitmaps) were extracted from the
       xnlock program.

OPTIONS
       noseguy accepts the following options:

       --window
               Draw on a newly-created window.  This is the default.

       --root  Draw on the root window.

       --window-id number
               Draw on the specified window.

       --install
               Install a private colormap for the window.

       --visual visual
               Specify which visual to use.  Legal values are the name of a
               visual class, or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific
               visual.

       --font font
               The font used for the messages.

       --program program
               This program will be run periodically, and its output will be
               the text of the messages.  Default:

                   xscreensaver-text --cols 40 | head -n15

               You can configure the text printed through the "Advanced" tab
               of xscreensaver-settings(1), or by editing your ~/.xscreensaver
               file.

       --filename file
               If mode is file, then the contents of this file will be used
               for all messages.

       --text string
               If mode is string, then this text will be used for all
               messages.

       --fps   Display the current frame rate and CPU load.

ENVIRONMENT
       DISPLAY to get the default host and display number.

       XENVIRONMENT
               to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global
               resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.

       XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW
               The window ID to use with --root.
