>From the shell you can use the trick I think X uwm uses. It creates a
window covering the screen, then removes it immediately.  You don't have
to be accurate with the window size as long as it is at least as big as
the screen. Example: 

	shelltool -position 0 0 -size 1152 900 -label refreshing   true
