On the other hand, if you want to take a screen shot of OpenOffice (useful since
it's PNG export blows), gimp will do it, while xv ("a pretty nifty X program",
as it introduces itself) will instead share it's opinion on OpenOffice, which is
generally aligned with my own:
X Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
Major Opcode: 3
While OpenOffice windows may be called Bad Windows, it is still a pity that the
mediocre xv windows evaporate, leaving me with the exit status 255 - even more
Major than the Opcode 3. I like integers.
Not that it justifies anything else in gimp.
