New display option: +progress

The latest GraphicsMagick snapshot and CVS now include the gm display
option +progress.  This option disables the progess indicator and
hourglass cursor for a very "clean" look or for automated X11 image
display applications where these user-interface elements are
distracting.  The hourglass cursor will still appear if an operation
is requested other than image display (e.g. image processing).

As an example, you may use a script like this under Unix to display a
series of images via remote control, and without progress indicator or
busy cursor:

#!/bin/sh
# Start display program in background
gm display +progress -geometry '+0+0' initial.jpg &
display_pid=${!}

# Display a series of images in remote mode
for file in /foo/*.jpg
do
  gm display -remote $file
  sleep 5
done

# Stop background display program
kill -TERM $display_pid
