You don't need to do anything special to get screen shots of the GUI.  To get 
screen shots of video, you need to run mythfrontend in non-Xv mode, like so:

	export NO_XV=1
	mythfrontend

-- or --

	env NO_XV=1 mythfrontend

Bear in mind that this will put significantly more load on your CPU for 
playback, as it disables hardware-accelerated video scaling, so make sure you 
don't put this command in your normal Myth startup script!
