See. I told you that shaped windows are in fact rectangular. All windows
on the X window system are, by definition. The screenshot plug-in just
takes a screenshot of that window and since it doesn't support asking it
for the shape bitmap or the alpha channel, the result is rectangular and
doesn't have any transparency.

Your window system comes with a tool called xwd. If you are a fan of
xeyes, you will also like xwd. It was written about around the same
time.
