I should have tried ksnapshot before!  It does get the menus --
even on Edgy where GIMP's snapsnot just gets garbage.
If you have the mouse over only a menu, ksnapshot will even
give you just the menu without the window containing it.

ksnapshot solves the delay problem in a nice clean way:
they have only one (pre-selection) delay, but their window selection
is "Window under cursor" -- you don't need to click to select
the window. That solves everything without requiring two delays.
It's a nice solution!

(Now off to poke around X and think about Sven's fabulous super-
layered-screenshot idea.)
