I'm using blackbox (window manager) with bbkeys, and I've bound a key (ctrl-F9 -- but it could really be any key combo) to a script that uses ImageMagick's import command to grab an image -- either the whole desktop, a window, or a selection from the desktop (do 'man import' for more informtion after installing the ImageMagick package). The GKrellShoot plugin for GKrellM does the same thing. It actually saves the image to a file, but I find that for most of my purposes, including placing it in a document, this is a better practice anyways. -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
