+The desktop demo contains three routines, each of which draws simple
+shapes on the desktop.
+
+"desktop -rotate" rotates a shaded square. Some nice color work.
+
+"desktop -poly" draws qix-like moving shapes.
+
+"desktop -shadetext" and "-troll" draw pretty shaded text on the
+desktop; "-shadewidget" and "-trollwidget" use the background as a
+widget. The latter can be used to make animated background widgets
+that work efficiently, which is very cool but possibly not very
+useful.
