WIG

Use WIG to grab images off the web. Each window is a separate application. It's easily configurable through the command line.

FAQ

To build from source:
download the latest source from the WIG sourceforge page
run autogen.sh
then run make
the executable file 'wig' should be in the src directory now.

see the "run_wig.sh" command in the 'src' directory for examples starting wig.

Here is how I run it: (after autogen.sh and make)
 mkdir ~/bin
 cp wig ~/bin
 cp run_wig.sh ~/bin

 Create an application launcher on the desktop and point the "Command" prompt to 
   my_home_dir/bin/run_wig.sh

Have fun wiggin' out :)
