Hi Ky!

Probably terribly obvious to most but 'discovered' a little trick for
when wanting to get a screen shot while in Virtual Windows on a Linux
machine.

The entire screen capture is using PrtScrn -- that works in Virtual XP.
The 'select an area' screenshot is Shift_PrtScrn -- didn't work. Dawned
on my to try bringing one of the Linux windows up -- viewable/overlaying
a portion of the Virtual XP screen. Put the mouse over the Linux
window, Shift_PrtScrn to activate that function, now it works!

Oh, so for some reason it's only respecting the active window for
screencaps.

Yes and no, Will do a full screen capture (hit PrintScrn) and that will
work; do a defined one (Shift_PrintScrn) and won't work. I'm guessing something to do with what's active, and/or Windows doesn't understand
the Shift option. ...As long as it works!

Um, in Windows it's Alt-PrtScr to capture just the active window...

With the Virtual Windows XP running under Linux Alt_PrintScreen brings
up the command line.
