someone else also just pointed out the diagnostic properties of eye
ache pattern off-list too.
So I guess it's ~/.xinitrc in site.tgz for me then.

As long as you promise not to hate me for taking the other side of

are at least equally displeasing, if not more so. The reason why they
are important is because they make it extremely easy for you to
visually detect problems in your screen output. --It might be ugly,

regularly appreciating "ugly" has many benefits.
Let's say you fumble-finger an xrandr(1) command and change your
display
settings to something that might damage your display. Having the root
weave visible might just save you the expense of replacing your
monitor.
If you do insist on changing it, use the ~/.xinitrc for your user
rather
than making a system-wide change.
