I prefer to have my displays completely blanked when X is doing screen
saving - this is what the -v flag is supposed to accomplish. However,
the V10R4 supplied libqvss does not do screen blanking itself, so that
the SetVideo calls in X/main.c don't succeed, so the screen saver routine
does that random pattern on the screen instead. Rather than doing it
properly, I put this cheap hack into X/main.c to do it for me. It's
not elegant, but it has the desired effect at minimal cost.

CXcopy)
StoreColors (2, randomcolors);
