bgs's Introduction
bgs - back ground setter
========================
bgs is an extremely fast and small background setter for X.
Requirements
------------
In order to build bgs you need the Xlib and Imlib2 header files.
Installation
------------
Edit config.mk to match your local setup (bgs is installed into
the /usr/local namespace by default).
Afterwards enter the following command to build and install bgs (if
necessary as root):
make clean install
Running bgs
-----------
Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start bgs using startx:
bgs <image> &
In order to connect bgs to a specific display, make sure that
the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.:
DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 bgs <image> &
(This will start bgs on display :1 of the host foo.bar.)
In order to have a different image on each monitor you can specify
multiple images (one per monitor), e.g.:
DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 bgs <image1> <image2> &
(This will display image1 on monitor 1 and image2 on monitor 2.)

Small typo in the Makefile.
In the first line it says: "dynamic window manager", instead of "back ground setter".
New release
Could you tag a new release? 0.5 is from 2009 and there were a few, but useful commits in the meantime.
bgs will not set background if compton is running
unknown if this is just the case with compton or with all compositing managers, but one cannot set the background if compton is running. If a background had been set, when launching compton it will become compton's grey background.
edit: When launching bgs while compton is running, compton spits out this bit of information:
