	I often want to generate a hardcopy image of several windows,
which can be done with the -root option to xwd. However, this results
in an image of the entire display, which is not always what I want.
I would like to be able to specify either that I want an image
containing a list of windows, or to be able to specify a rectangle
within the root window that I want dumped. This might actually be useful
within other windows as well as it would provide a way of leaving out
an unwanted caption or something like that.

	Is there a way to do this currently? I can't find an xwd or xpr
option that will do the job. If not, I'd love to see this feature
appear in xwd in R5.
