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. -- Paulo Jorge Matos - pocm at sat inesc-id pt Web: http://sat.inesc-id.pt/~pocm Computer and Software Engineering INESC-ID - SAT Group ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
