Not. The problem is the system call within the hacks themselves. If you noted, I was running antspotlight from the command line. Among the broken hacks: antspotlight, gflux (-mode grab), flipscreen3d, and glslideshow. Other hacks work correctly with screengrabs: decayscreen, distort, jigsaw, ripple (-water), slidescreen, spotlight, zoom, and others. While my initial post may not have been clear: it appears the hacks themselves have incorrect system calls. I was looking for corroboration. Peace. -- Karsten M.
