22               visual  class,  or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific
23               visual.

27       -root   Draw on the root window.
28

30               Delay between frames, in microseconds.  Default 30000.
31
32       -speed ratio
33               Less than 1 for slower, greater than 1 for faster.  Default 1.
34
35       -count int
36               How many tentacles.  Default 8.

46               A  measure  of  how  bendy  the tentacles are.  Smaller numbers
