hi!
Is there anything similar to the R3 xpseudoroot that works under R4?
Our old one used to work under R4, but stopped doing so a few months
ago (basically, xpseudoroot starts up, but clients can't open the display).

{One might ask: why do I need xpseudoroot?  Well, it was useful for
getting screen dumps of my application that had many windows; right now
that's a little trickier since if I click on the root window, using xpr,
I get *everything*.  The 'hack' that I use right now is to place an
xterm window below my application windows and click on that xterm window!

Any better alternatives?}

Thanks.
