     DESCRIPTION
          The dthello client provides transition visuals from the end
          of login to the start of the window manager in the user's
          session.

          Upon invocation, the dthello client will create an
          override-redirect window the size ofthe screen and draw a
          specified message on it. At the same time, a 1x1 window is
          created that will be picked up by the window manager. When
          the window manager reparents the little window (an
          indication that the window manager has started), this
          program exits.

          The message may be specified on the command line, or in a
          text file.
