I hope you realize that the discussion about screenshots is quite some 
bikeshedding at the moment as
a) we are not yet on Wayland
b) we don't know how exactly that will look like
c) it's possible to define a standard way to make screenshots possible

All I wrote was that we have to consider security and the way we handle 
things right now would break the security which is in principal added by 
the windowing system. That is security currently not available in X11 
and we never had to care about it.

Now we have the chance to make the system a little bit more secure. We 
should at least try to make that possible and not kill that before we 
even start with going to Wayland, can we?

Cheers
Martin
