Bug#101937: [xwd] 'xwd -name windowtitle -frame' doesn't capture frame
This is operating as documented - in the xwd man page, it states:
-frame This option indicates that the window manager frame should be
included when manually selecting a window.
But using -name is selecting a window automatically, not waiting for the user
to manually click on it.
With the current implementation, you would instead need to do:
"xwininfo -name ... -children | grep Parent"
and use the id returned by that with the -id argument to xwd:
"xwd -id ... -out image"
Making -frame work with the automatic selection arguments (-id & -name)
might be a nice enhancement, but it's not a bug that it doesn't yet.
