The way I've seen it done with other programs is with
mouse input. There is a largish box that you are
supposed to move your mouse over until the program
has collected enough random data.
Also, on Linux, you can use /dev/random for random numbers
that are generated from system events. It is said to be
"crypo grade" and high-quality pseudo-random numbers.
(/dev/urandom does something similar, but not as secure once
it runs out of random bytes.)
