Skippy-XD provides live images of the windows! Which is not
possible, if you can only take snapshots every 'x' seconds.

>From its homepage:
"Skippy-XD is a version of Skippy that uses the new XDamage,
XComposite and XFixes extensions (found in FreeDesktop.org's
Xserver project) to provide you with 'live' versions of the
windows. Exciting, isn't it?"

Can't imagine how this is done but it seems to have potential.
Also haven't seen skippy-XD working.
