The link is:  http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/stable/GtkWidget.html#gtk-widget-get-snapshot .Make the first parameter your toplevel window and the second NULL.  This should return a pixmap of the window at the time it was called.  However, I couldn't get it to work because I don't have the gtk_widget_get_snapshot() function anywhere; it's not in any of the header file that I saw.  If you or anyone knows where this function is I'd like to know:  it looks useful.Dave> > _______________________________________________> > gtk-app-devel-list mailing list> > gtk-app-devel-list gnome org> > http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list> >> > -- > Tadej Borovšak> tadeboro gmail com> tadej borovsak gmail com>That was it. I'm still on gtk 2.12.  That seems to be the latest version Gentoo has.  I guess I'll have to wait until they get the latest version.Thanks.
