749 ) 782again and again- for example, if your background expression takes the root
783background, blurs it and then root-aligns it it would have to blur the
784root background on every window move or resize.
785
786Putting the blur into a C<once> block will make sure the blur is only done
787once:
788
789 rootlign once { blur 10, root }
790
791This leaves the question of how to force reevaluation of the block, in
792case the root background changes: Right now, all once blocks forget that
793they ahve been executed before each time the root background changes (if
794the expression is sensitive to that) or when C<once_again> is called.
