Ah ha. That worked. My .xinitrc now reads ...

unclutter -root &

xv -wait 300 -wloop -random -rmode 5 -viewonly /path/to/pictures

Works great!

I might do a segment on this setup for my video podcast.

I would expect that to be the last thing in your .xinitrc
not the first thing.

I assume from your use of the -root parameter
that xv is displaying your pictures on the
root window. Is that correct?

I would expect unclutter to be the first thing
in your .xinitrc

unclutter -root &

Don't forget the & -- it is important.

Why are you running jwm? I can't see how it is
relevant to your application.

Cheers,
Steven
