(-: I'd use it for replacing images with something harmless, highlighting display elements (like menu items) and the like. Maybe replacing furniture from one WM with chunks from another (e.g. paste GNOME or Win32 kit over the top of KDE or XFCE). From a presenter's point of view, it'd be dream-land.

[Gimp-developer] an idea for the screenshot plug-in
Hi, I can think of a nice addition to the screenshot plug-in that someone might want to try to implement. We could then perhaps include this for 2.6. The point of this idea is that it introduces a feature that is unique and cannot be done (easily) in the desktop environment's screenshot utility. Compositing window managers are becoming popular and GTK+ 2.10 even allows us to find out if the current screen is composited (gdk_screen_is_composited ()). On a composited screen it should be possible to traverse the window hierarchy and take screenshots of all visible windows. The screenshot plug-in could do that, create a layer for each screenshot and place it at the right offset. The result would be an image that looks like a screenshot of the whole screen. But it would have separate layers for each window (including popup menus). This would allow you to rearrange the screenshot later (hiding some windows for examples). This might be a nice idea for a Super Screenshot plug-in or just as a patch that we can include after the 2.4 release.
