Sorry, I did not validate the things mentioned by me about ksnapshot and
your rewrite. I merely "quoted" some complaints I heard from a/few
documentation writer(s). That's why I said "I heard". 

The second point was that while it was mentioned on irc nobody seem to have
read the message about the "GUI" keyword. So I took the chance while reading
Waldo's mail to point to the "GUI" thingie again.

It was a quote, Matthias. I'll keep my mouth closed for the future when I
didn't verified the complaints myself. Sorry again.

Dirk,
trying to "unpiss" Matthias and feeling pissed himself because he didn't
validate the things he heard before posting it here..
