Not.
The problem is the system call within the hacks themselves. If you
noted, I was running antspotlight from the command line.
Among the broken hacks: antspotlight, gflux (-mode grab), flipscreen3d,
and glslideshow.
Other hacks work correctly with screengrabs: decayscreen, distort,
jigsaw, ripple (-water), slidescreen, spotlight, zoom, and others.
While my initial post may not have been clear: it appears the hacks
themselves have incorrect system calls. I was looking for
corroboration.
Peace.
