Very nice! I gave a quick shot at an implementation and came up with the
following patch:

If you actually try this you will understand why I added a FIXME. If you
open a popup menu and keep the mouse button pressed until the timer
expires, this code takes a screenshot of the popup menu, not of the
window that the popup is created from. This behaviour is correct from a
technical point of view (after all popup menus are separate windows).
But it's not what the user expects. We will somehow have to special-case
this. I posted the patch here in case that someone experienced with XLib
programming wants to give this a try.
