Michi [0] has asked me for an interview and a screenshot.  Taking
a screenshot is easy with Graphviz:

     import -window root screen.png

Unfortunately, the result wasn't as expected.  The status bar was
there, but the area of the fullscreen terminal was all black. De-
bian bug 546773 [1] describes the problem (in the first half).  I
solved  it  by  upgrading X from 1.10.0 to 1.11.3.  This required
upgrading 20 Crux packages.  As I try to avoid prt-get, I did  it
all  manually.   No, that wasn't fun. I needed to care for depen-
dencies.  I'm not quite sure how I like to deal with  such  tasks
in  the  future.   Use  prt-get though?  After I had all the xorg
ports up to date, I restarted X and found  neither  the  keyboard
nor  the  touchpad  working.   I  needed to recompile `xorg-xf86-
input-*' to match the new version of X.   My  keyboard  uses  the
`evdev'  driver.  Good  to know.  Having that done, I was able to
take the screenshot. :-)
