.SH "ABSTRACT"
.IX Header "ABSTRACT"
UI::Dialog::Backend::XOSD is an OOPerl wrapper for the \fBosd_cat\fR\|(1)
program.
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Use this module to present feedback to the end user via an on-screen
display (like an on-screen \s-1TV\s0 volume meter).  When you use any of the
UI::Dialog meta classes (UI::Dialog, UI::Dialog::GNOME, etc.) access
to this backend is provided via the \f(CW$d\fR\->xosd method. ie: replace \f(CW$xosd\fR
with \f(CW$d\fR\->xosd in the synopsis example (provided you made \f(CW$d\fR with
something like my \f(CW$d\fR = new UI::Dialog...). Also, UI::Dialog (and
friends) only load this module when you first use the \f(CW$d\fR\->xosd method
(this may silently fail, but you can test by \fBref()\fR for success).

This is the Class Constructor method. It accepts a list of key => value pairs
and uses them as the defaults when interacting with the various widgets. All
methods accept the same arguments as \fBnew()\fR except that the arguments passed to
the methods are temporarily used instead of making them the default as the
\&\fBnew()\fR method does. In the case of the 'wait' option, any (non-zero) value enables
the option as it's a switch and not a string argument.
