Patch fixing the overlaped window bug (1.71 KB, patch)

Description Fernando Herrera 2003-06-20 00:40:49 UTC 
When taking a screenshot from a window only (just now is only possible
using alt+Print Screen), it is from the window the cursor is over.
If this window is not active, and overlaped by another one, the overlaped
area is not taken correctely.

        ---------
        |    C  |
------------    |
|        XX|    |
|        XX|    |
|        XX|-----
|          |
------------

When cursor is over C, the screenshot is taken from C, but the area
overlaped by the other window (X) is trash.
