I meant to say, "When I run the script in a crontab", I get the error -- not
when I run it from a KDE console.
I added to the bug report in Debian and filed a bug upstream at
http://linuxbrit.co.uk/feh/ticket/29
I also found a workaround -- montage from imagemagick works from cron too:
montage -tile 15 -geometry +1,+1 $FIL.img/$THUMBS/*.jpg $FIL.jpg
Cheers,
Dave
