BTW, dogtail has its own screenshot method; you may want to use that
(caveat: I haven't used it much myself though)

Dogtail has some automatic i18n facilities; if you write a script in the
C locale you may well be able to have it run in other locales by
leveraging the software's own translations. See dogtail.i18n and the
loadTranslationsFromPackageMoFiles function.
