Running on Ultra10 w/ 8 bit video hardware.

xli (1.16 png) is faster than xv....but still takes 2 seconds to switch,
slow probably due to decompressing jpg.

I tried having one jpg be root and the other be a fullscreen decorless
window, but then i cant reach root menus. I dont suppose X can hold two
root bitmaps and switch between them.
