This is a very useful tool, and imagefile looks like a great format.
Thanks very much to everyone involved.
I have a question about scripting xscreenshot and other applications
that operate on X window ids:
Is there a reliable way to get the X id of a window in a shell
script? This seems basic, but I could not find a way to do this that
works for all windows. Digging around in the output of `xprop -root`
as in [0] looks far too ugly, to me, to be the right thing.
Thanks,
