If you use xv (graphics/xv), install it, launch it, right click on the splash screen, there is a "Grab" button which when pressed can be configured to grab a window after a set time but unfortunately it doesn't grab the cursor. I guess you could always Gimp it in by grabbing pngs/gifs of the various cursors off the 'net. xv is quite a useful program for graphics that is worth installing. IMO. Imagemagik for batch processing, Gimp for drawing things from scratch and fancy effects, xv for quick "point & drool" transformations. -- Frank Contact info: http://www.shute.org.uk/misc/contact.html
