Great screen shot.
I have the following suggestions:
1) Make a full resolution version (1280x1024). Keep the shrunk version, but maybe standardize on 800 x 600?
2) Can you make a thumbnail while you are at it? Say 200 pixels wide?
3) Run 'uname' or 'uname -a' in the local xterm so that people realize it is running on your Windows machine.
4) Open an xterm on a remote host (or in your KDE session) and run 'uname' or 'uname -a' in it. Again, so people don't have to think :)
I think this could be a great shot.

Hi,
While I was zapping spam this morning did a screen capture of XWin in use.
File attached (too large...rejected 1st time by sources.redhat.com >50k)is the capture shrunk to 25cm width (~700 pixels wide) and saved as a .png 230KB. Did the shrink as it didn't look too good full size on my IE browser (1280 x 1024 screen). I've posted the result also on an experimental (play not pay!) website of mine:-
http://www.straightrunning.com/desktop/desktop.png
(This is not always up, 24/7 as it's on my development machine and via a DSL link)
The capture shows both XDMCP and multiwindow modes in action:-
1) A Windows XP desktop (tamed to remove all Telly Tubby/Early Learning Centre themes and garbage :)). 2) A XDMCP KDE session to a remote RedHat linux box running Mozilla. 3) A remote Konsole shell being used to monitor spam being zapped on my mailserver! 4) A remote Ethereal session being used to sniff my firewall traffic. 5) A local cygwin/xfree86 xterm. 6) A local cygwin/xfree86 xeyes showing shaped window/transparency. 7) My custom X selection menu from the XWin system tray icon.
I can post more of the same if you want (more web friendly or different
format/quality/size etc)?
