Very nice - thanks. They're both excellent programs with a pleasant UI
and a nicely-rounded set of features, although I wish 'scrot' was
documented a bit better: it supports the three features I want in a
screenshot program (select area, snap window, snap everything) but
mentions only one of them in the man page. Just FYI, right-clicking in a
window after executing 'scrot -s' snaps that window, and right-clicking
on the root window (the background) snaps everything.
