% Esetroot -display 0:0 -gradient rectanglegradient -from grey16 -to rgb:8/3/3
Esetroot:  Unrecognized option 'g'

Can I assume that this missing fictionality[sic] will be included
in fulture[sic] releases of bsetroot as well?

;-)



(In the background somewhere, I do note that Esetroot displays
png, gif, jpg, and a host of other such hwiol bsetroot only flunctions
in said capacity with the assistance of xv or (appearantly) Esetroot.
Damnit, I like my gradient.  And canoodle anyone who says otherwise,
this is 1974 and the Steelers are going to win the soup or bowl.)
