mind you theres also ee (Electric Eyes") does screnshots quite nicely
now - unlike imagemagick it doesnt screw up.. :) als considerably
smoother/faster than xv.. :) also has more options if you use the window
grabber...:) (ie just grab the app and not the window borders or grab
the borders - or even grab just a child window of the app (ie a
window'd widget) :)
