119 This option also adds such eye candy as blending an image over the

123 Note that with this option enabled, rxvt's memory footprint might
124 increase by a few megabytes even if no extra features are used
125 (mostly due to third-party libraries used by libAI). Memory
126 footprint may somewhat be lowered if libAfterImage is configured
