What if it is installed by default? And just because I sometimes want to 
do that, it doesn't mean I would like a malware to be able to call this 
program without me knowing. Seriously, we aren't here to make another 
security theater. Either we can make it secure or we don't. If it takes 
more than a second to think if it is safe or not, then it is too damn 
much complicated.

What I propose is simple and very efficient. Sure it isn't as open as 
X11, but that's the point! Screenshots have a big security implication, 
whether you like it or not.

Anyway, Daniel proposed something and I commented on it, you may 
actually think this is sufficient. Can you check please? I would really 
like if all of us could find a consensus :)
