The request for a screen shot operation that leaves the mouse pointer in
the image has come up several times on the XFree86 mailing lists (please
google for it). AFAIR the discussions can be summed up as: no, you can't
currently do it with a vanilla XFree86, yes, some X servers have an
extension to do, yes XFree86 could also conceivably get such an extension,
no, nobody has written one yet, yes, there are in principle other
solutions but they are hacks too -- and anyway, you have the source code,
you can do whatever you like.
Actually someone has written one and it's in the XFree86 CVS tree, if you
look in the "attic" directories and CVS history files for the remains of
Keith Packard's rejected X-Fixes extension.
