Thanks Bastien, thats really helpful.

I'll have to get a proper understanding of XGrabKey now, and then ask 
back if (er... when?) I have probs.  Heh.  :)

I don't mind the key capturing needing Salasaga to be running, as long 
as it can be in the background.  The whole point being to grab 
screenshots of Other Applications and all. ;->
