Or, better yet... Create a script (in gnome-doc-utils, of course. Seems to be my favourite place today ;) ), something like "update-screenshots". Each screenshot would have an associated dogtail script. The "update-screenshots" would run each dogtail script in turn, producing the desired output. Almost the same amount of work, but saves the writers copy-pasting a series of strange commands from a file to a terminal (where errors can creep in).
