Why does tvtime appear pink in screenshots?
tvtime outputs video into a video overlay surface, an area of video memory outside of the framebuffer, using the XVIDEO X extension. Applications which take screenshots such as ksnapshot, gimp or xwd only see the colourkeyed window, and not output of tvtime. We believe it is a design flaw or driver limitation of the X server or video card hardware that neither can provide the image to screenshot applications. For this reason, the only known method of taking screenshots of tvtime along with the desktop is to use the screenshot feature inside tvtime, and cut-and-paste the output into a full desktop screen capture.
