Cool. Can you make this a bit portable. On Mac OSX, the utility is
called screencapture, and can be run with the same flags. Here is a
piece of code that was published earlier with a sample use.
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/69221/focus=69272
,----
| #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
| (defun paste-clipboard-to-file (&optional filename temp-dir)
| "Take a screenshot using the crosshairs and saveit to FILENAME,
| if it is given or to a temp file in the TEMP-DIR
| directory. Then add an orgmode style link at point."
| (interactive)
| (let* ((temporary-file-directory (or temp-dir "images"))
| (fname (or filename (make-temp-file "img" nil ".jpg"))))
| (call-process-shell-command (concat
| "/usr/sbin/screencapture -s " fname))
| (insert "\n[[file:" fname "]]")
| (org-display-inline-images)))
| ;;
| (global-set-key (kbd "C-c p") 'paste-clipboard-to-file)
|
| #+END_SRC
