FC4: How to capture a window's screen snapshot?

[Brandon Ooi]

Hi,

I think the reason is because the "screenshot" function basically reads 
the current framebuffer into a file. The problem with this is hardware 
accelerators have their own framebuffer that they overlay directly.  
This buffer is not read by the screenshot function
