On the other hand, if you want to take a screen shot of OpenOffice (useful since
it's PNG export blows), gimp will do it, while xv ("a pretty nifty X program", 
as it introduces itself) will instead share it's opinion on OpenOffice, which is 
generally aligned with my own:

  X Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
  Major Opcode:  3

While OpenOffice windows may be called Bad Windows, it is still a pity that the 
mediocre xv windows evaporate, leaving me with the exit status 255 - even more 
Major than the Opcode 3. I like integers.

Not that it justifies anything else in gimp.
