capture a screenshot of any window
And never exits. At the same time, I'm also not able to take a screenshot in
GNOME -- the screenshot application allows me to choose screen, window, or
selection -- but after choosing one of those three options, the cursor never
changes to a crosshair which would allow to select what to screesnhot.
