One of the reasons why the idea came about was due to the fact when skinning I tend to develop on my pc and upload to what ever platform I would like to test. In this case it was my trusty old xbox (which has now been replaced with xbmc live on a asrock ion 330). The only problem was the xbox wasnt in the same room. So instead of wearing out the carpet moving from room to room or moving the xbox itself. I wrote a application to send keys to the xbox and take periodic screenshots.
Im not sure if xbmclive can have vnc running in the background to achieve similar?
Another motivation for the screenshot without mouse pointer was if available to xbmc's python engine. I could then take screenshots of the current screen then do some special techniques I have done to achieve blur like effects etc.
