Hi Philipp,

You're absolutely right, I forgot about this point although I had it on 
my mind.

As far as I'm concerned screenshots can be either a part of the window 
or the full window. Indeed the advantage of the full window is that the 
context is not lost, but I don't think that it's justified all the time. 
For full window screenshots we must indeed use a common size, 1024x768 
sounds good to me (it's very close to what I used for the Scheduler's 
manual screenshots).

Cheers
