## Build

![build](https://github.com/veltzer/xmeltdown/workflows/build/badge.svg)

When I was back in the UNI I used to move people away from machine by running

xmeltdown on their machines. The user is happily working on his machine and

suddenly the whole screen seems to melt. All you need to run this is X access

to his screen (xhost + on his side). Some systems are configured (stupidly)

that way so we can play our little tricks on them. Cut to some years later

and I wanted to run this xmeltdown again. I searched for some RPM or source

package but to no avail. I stumbled across a set of old source on some http

server in MIT and rescued them from obscurity. A lot of compilation fixes

and some cleanups and bug fixes went into this and you can happily run

xmeltdown again. Copyright of most of the stuff still belongs to the

original authors. Free source never dies.
