NAME
wmGrabImage - Dockable WWW Image monitor.
SYNOPSIS
wmGrabImage [options]... -url <Image URL>
DESCRIPTION
wmGrabImage is a WindowMaker DockApp that maintains a small thumbnail
copy of your favorite image from the WWW. The image to monitor is
specified via the "-url <Image URL>" command-line option and it gets
updated approximately every 5 minutes. The update interval can be
overridden via the "-delay <Time>" command-line option (Time is in
seconds).
Each of the three mouse buttons can be double clicked with the
following effects;
Left Mouse:
Brings up the full-sized image in the image viewer specifed via
the option -viewer.
Middle Mouse:
Sends a URL (specified via the -http <URL> command-line option)
to a browser specified via the -browser <Program> command-line
option.
Right Mouse:
Updates the image immediately.

-http <URL>
The URL to send to the browser (specified via the -browser

BUGS
Who knows? -- its still Beta though. (Let me know if you find any).
Oldish versions of the ImageMagick convert utility have a memory leak
-- if you have that problem, upgrade to the latest version.
