Another approach is to patch wmgenmenu in order to include
a screenshot menu if and only if the appropriate program
is already installed.

But I agree that documenting the several options is a good
idea. It is a pity that we don't get any patches adding
documentation in the windowmaker webpage (the repo is
here: git://repo.or.cz/whome.git). This example menu
would be a good example of what people could add to
the webpage.
