Re: pixmap/pixbuf confusion

Thank you for your response. I actually figured that out and since I 
wasn't a member of this list (yet) I wasn't sure you guys would even 
see the message.

This would seem like a no-brainer except: uninitialized != screen grab 
IMHO. Had I seen random gibberish I would have thought that it was 
uninitialized. For it to grab the current window seems like a 
deliberate action and should perhaps be documented. Better yet, the 
color of "empty" IMHO could easily be 0.

Thanks again,
Michael
