Well, cropping is prolly much faster than killing the wm, editing .xinitrc,
restarting the wm, etc. for a casual screenshot.

But you're right about the pixel perfect part.  It would be *seriously*
inconvenient getting it absolutely perfect.

Thankfully, the problem was solved!  :-)

I wonder how having to crop, specially if you want it pixel perfect,
is faster.
