I noticed while making a big report that a file, "report_screenshot.bmp" was appearing in my SL directory. Its not all that practical, but I found it interesting.

Nice catch :)

I, for myself, always use the window manager tools, like "ksnapshot", but that also captures all UI elements that happen to be there. So I'll give your "Report" hack a go as soon as I get home :)
