The "import" program that's part of the
ImageMagick port can do so:

import image.png

Then draw a box around whatever you want to screen shot.
Alternatively, it can do the whole root window:

import -window root ss.png

ImageMagick is in:

/usr/ports/graphics/ImageMagick

Josh

I'm not sure how a simple screen capture program would
capture
the mouse cursor since they all ask that you either click on
a
screen or select a rectangle from the entire screen.

It seems to me that one would have to use some kind of
video
screen capture from which one could select frames showing
the
cursor as needed from working sessions.

So what you are wanting is a program like Snag-It for
Windows, Ksnapshot
can do this I think. Haven't used it in quite a while
though.

If you use xv (graphics/xv), install it, launch it, right
click on the
splash screen, there is a "Grab" button which when
pressed can be
configured to grab a window after a set time but
unfortunately it
doesn't grab the cursor.

I guess you could always Gimp it in by grabbing pngs/gifs of
the
various cursors off the 'net.

xv is quite a useful program for graphics that is worth
installing.
IMO.

Imagemagik for batch processing, Gimp for drawing things
from scratch
and fancy effects, xv for quick "point &
drool" transformations.

you could probably also use gvidcap/xvidcap and split the
video to jpegs
using ffmpeg...(",)

KSnapshot doesn't grab the cursor either.

Anything that doesn't require a bunch of desktop-specific
libraries?  I
just realized that what I usually use for screenshots
(scrot) doesn't
capture the mouse cursor position.
