The only thing I'll add is that w
I would say that it's widely accepted that if you are including an image
in a book that represents a screen shot that is less than full screen,
you will magnify the image and use blocky pixel replication for text or
line graphics, and interpolated zooms for photographic subjects. I think

That's correct. It's th
But doesn't this mean that if my the portion of the screen that I'm
interested in is only 3 by 5 or so, then there is basically no way to get a
non extrapolated set of pixels that will print to 3 by 5 on the page?

I guess that's my cue. :-)
The screen resolution is in pixels. One pixel = one dot. Most monitors
give you between 72 and 100 DPI, or dots per inch. Yo

Isn't Patrick saying, basically, that since my screen has a fixed physical
resolution, that's about the limit i can expect to actually get?

You can use Image->scale image to directly set the DPI.
In X11 it's possibly to directly set the dpi of the screen; however
if you did that, printing would probably be huge (as patrick says,
typical display devices are 75..100 DPI)
If it were me, I'd write a script I could use from GIMP to set i
Does this mean it's impossible to get a good looking screen capture into a
book? I'm not sure I follow.

I'm trying to take some screen captures that will be used in a book. How do
I set the resolution / dpi of the screen capture device? I tried setting
the defulat new image parameters, but it doesn't seem to be used by the
screen capture device.
