I'm less convinced about the value of adding the screenshot capability to the frame device. Functionality-wise it is of course related to the display but IMHO it still doesn't quite fit in with the rest of the frame device features. Also I think that today the screenshot functionality is mainly used as a defacto replacement for the lacking print capabilities. Reading through Walter's latest Sugar-Digest it seems like the move to GTK3 will enable much better export / printing capabilities in Activities. As such I feel that adding the screenshot capability to the frame now is more of a short term fix which introduces an inconsistency whereas it should be possible to have a significantly better overall solution soon (e.g. for Sugar 0.98?).
