Do you use tvtwm? Then the ordinary root window (on which the
cockroaches run around) will be covered by the virtual desktop window.
You have to #include "vroot.h" in the `xroach.c' file *after*
<Xlib.h>.  The file `vroot.h' redefines two preprocessor macros
`RootWindow' and `DefaultRootWindow' to do the right thing in the
presence of a virtual desktop.  It was written by Andreas Stolcke of
ICSI and can be FTPed from export.lcs.mit.edu, File /contrib/vroot.h.

SimonM> Does it work with a monochrome monitor?

Yes, it does.
