On a longer term, it might be interesting to do something with clickable
image maps to let people click on parts of screenshots to see what it is,
etc. But that's a little more work than just normal screenshots. It'd be
great to have a showcase like that, though.

I expect we'll get quite a few smaller ones, in proportion to what screen
sizes people actually use.
