[Xucaen <xucaen@yahoo.com>]

hi all..
sorry about all the stipid questions....
is there an xsetroot HOWTO out there?  :-)
============================================
xucaen@whitestar:~$ ls
aim.xpm  new.bmp  test  test.xpm
xucaen@whitestar:~$ xsetroot -bitmap ~/new.bmp
xsetroot: bad bitmap format file:
/home/xucaen/new.bmp
xucaen@whitestar:~$
============================================
I made new.bmp using gimp.
any clues?

I get "unable to open file" errors when I try to
use xmp files.

thanks all!!!
