[KINDA SOLVED] screenshot during desktop switch in compiz

[Rhiakath]

Hi there. How can i take a screenshot while i'm changing desktops in compiz, like for example, with the cube being shown, or with all the desktops being show with the expo effect? When i try to take a snapshot, it just takes for the current desktop, even if i'm the expo mode...

How are you taking the screenshot? The GNOME screenshot program has always worked for me, and I believe scrot does as well. If you're using import (e.g. import -window root), it won't see the composite window.

Ok, got a way to make it work.
Dunno why, i can't take the screenshot when i have the desktop cube showing, or on the "expo" effect. so, i ask for a snapshot with a 3 second delay and THEN go to the cube or expo.
but this is stupid. Apparently, compiz does not do anything key-related when not on the normal desktop view.
