It doesn't quite work with KDE and a desktop background - looks to me like it shows up behind the KDE desktop. I experimented with the -G switch, but that didn't work either (probably because I wasn't launching it in fullscreen mode).

But qiv comes up even faster than xslideshow, so I'm still happy.

And anyone that copied that script, there are two bugs in it - the second find command doesn't look in Resources, and the section that creates the refresh and next page links should be checking to see if l (el) is less than h, not if i (eye) is less than h.

Cheers,

James
