Dear Maintainer,

adjusting settings for the Qix screenserver from the xscreensaver-demo settings frontend, increasing poly corners from the
default value of 2, will give a warning:

 Can't have -poly and -size; using -size 0

said warning will also be rendered as text into the running screensaver, disfiguring the otherwise running and apparantly
self-sanitizing screensaver. It is not even possibly to manually correct the parameter incompatibility: the size parameter is
forced to a minimum value of 200 by the UI frontend

the checkbox named transparency alternates between monochrome and rainbow colored qixes, the XOR check box makes lines
disappear andonly endpoints be shown: both are unexpected outcomes for the option names
