742 $_[0], 786The trick is that this code block is only evaluated once - future calls

791again and again- for example, if your background expression takes the root
792background, blurs it and then root-aligns it it would have to blur the
793root background on every window move or resize.
794
795Putting the blur into a C<once> block will make sure the blur is only done

800This leaves the question of how to force reevaluation of the block, in
801case the root background changes: Right now, all once blocks forget that
802they ahve been executed before each time the root background changes (if
803the expression is sensitive to that) or when C<once_again> is called.
