Subject: /usr/bin/xwd: -screen is always in effect - cannot capture content of obscured window

Date: Tue, 22 Jan 2013 11:15:02 +0100

Package: x11-apps
Version: 7.7~2
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/xwd

Hello,

capturing with -id and without setting -screen should supposedly give
content of window regardless of other windows drawn on top of it.
However, xwd behaves as if -screen was given and captures whatever is
currently on the screen in the area where the window would be.

afaik there's no "content of the window" in a clipped area... (without a
compositing manager, anyway).

Cheers,
