+
+A wrapper script to launch xterm with a cute random background color.
+
+Got the idea from deadpixi' sam fork (the editor), where one can pass a
+list of colours as `background' and sam will use a random one.
+
+I'm actually using the same list of the sam example configuration:
+
+	set -A colours white seashell oldlace lightcyan gainsboro \
+		lightyellow mintcream snow lightblue thistle
+
+ksh has not a great syntax for arrays, but this will choose (with modulo
+bias!) a random colour and use it as xterm background.
+
+	exec xterm -bg "$(echo ${colours[$((RANDOM % ${#colours[@]}))]})"
