Okay, no offense, but that's pretty much *exactly* what I described. The idea
is that from the screenshot menu, instead of clicking save, you click "open
with send-to-vm.sh", and then a zenity GUI window will pop up asking you for
the destination VM name. If you want a list to select from, change it to
something like `qvm-ls | cut zenity --list`. I don't see how it could be any
more integrated. If you believe I am mistaken, please point out exactly how my
solution differs from what you're trying to achieve.

No, it's a binary. https://git.xfce.org/apps/xfce4-screenshooter
The PrintScreen key is mapped to screenshooter by default, but you can map it
to something else via System Tools > Keyboard. You can also remap it to
"screenshooter --open send-to-vm.sh" to skip the save/open/upload dialog and
instead go right to the destination VM dialog.
