[openbox] Feh Borderless - Anyone Achieved This In Openbox?

[Brian Mattern]

It turns out that it is a genuine bug in feh that is triggered when gcc
optimizations are turned on. (I happened to recompile without
optimization, and thus saw the bug disappear.)

The attached patch to feh fixes the issue independent of optimization level.
Alternatively, compiling with -O1 with gcc 4.8.1 fixes the issue, but the patch is a better solution.
