The images I took are just raw screenshots, no postprocessing involved. If I remember correctly, they were taken using the Gnome screenshot tool in an 80x24 xterm with the default font. > However, once the documentation is built, the pictures are resized in > the manual, taking all the width it can (and corresponding height). > Because of that, they look bad.

No. I believe that what you're seeing there is just the default output of the docbook XSL stylesheets (they appear to set all screenshots / images to take up the full page width). Probably a little spelunking in their docs would turn up the parameter that needs to change to adjust this behavior.
