Hi Jonas,

Unfortunately, AFAICT xscreenshot doesn't support any way of notifying
other applications that it got activated. The only work-around for this
would be a polling solution, which sounds way less-than-optimal (not to
mention I'm not even sure there's anything I *could* poll).
However, if you've got a suggestion on how I could deal with it, just
let me know and I'll try putting something together. And "patches
welcome" applies as usual, of course! :)


Cheers
