Hmmm.  In the meantime, I wonder if I could schedule a tcl
call to a program that can take a window capture?  My original
"xwd" version of screen shots did that on X.  Any similar thing
in Tk?  Oh well, this will just be more fodder for the "use
linux" cannon.

Ooooo, Ooooo, I know what I can do!  I thought that the failure
of the default Swarm "drop" to drop raster displays was a bug.
[grin]  Turns out it's a feature!  I can just leave the widgets
up there and capture them with paint shop or something.
