+"""Script to create a window with a bunch of buttons.
+
+Once the window with the buttons is displayed on-screen, capture the image
+and make a copy for each GIF image.  Use xv or similar to crop individual
+buttons & giftrans to make them transparent.  xv will tell you the #value
+of the background if you press button-2 over a background pixel; that should
+be passed as a parameter to the -t argument of giftrans.
