- I think there is a way of doing it using xgrabsc (available on
- export.lcs.mit.edu as xgrabsc.1.5.tar.Z). Among the options there is:
-
- -k Select the window under the mouse when the Control
- key is pressed. This option is normally used in
- getting images of menus. Pop up the menu, option-
- ally move the pointer to the window containing the
- menu, and strike the Control key to begin the dump.
