I favorite past time has been pushing the limits of Compiz fusion and then trying to take a screenshot while the two monitors are showing warped cylindrical five sided desktop 'cubes' (for want of a better word). The resulting 'artifact riddled' screenshot is almost its own art form!

I havent had the time to find out why yet... Richard -- ref <tbs-Gb/NUjX2UK8 at public.gmane.org>
