Neon photoframe

[Arigead]

Sorry new the Python so dirty hack is all you're going to get out of me
;-) I assumed someone might clear it up.

If you just start neon as normal you still get the File Selection Window
but to bypass that I just call it with a file or *.jpg and it pops the
File Selection very briefly.

neon -f -p -l ~/Pictures/*.jpg

I reread there and might have mis understood you. I don't have any file
stuff to the left or right but that might be because I'm using the "-f"
option?
