ximg doesn't get saved with SavePng.

[CamilleScholtz]

Reproduce

• Uncomment the following lines in the screenshot example: https://github.com/BurntSushi/xgbutil/blob/master/_examples/screenshot/main.go#L37-L40
• Run go build
• Run `./screenshot

Expected result

A window that pops up with the contents of the screenshot and a png gets written to disk with the contents of the screenshot.

Actual result

A window that pops up with the contents of the screenshot and blank png gets written to disk (https://punpun.xyz/hqgz.png)

You can either show or save, not both at the same time, I think

Nope, commenting out the XShowExtra line doesn't fix it. I don't know I am somehow missing a dependency or something, or if this is an actual problem with xgbutil.

Also comment out the last line, xevent.Main(x), otherwise the process hangs. if that doesn't work I can't help, it works fine on my system

here's the full snippet

// Example screenshot shows how to take a screenshot of the current desktop
// and show it in a window. In a comment, it also shows how to save it as
// a png.
//
// It works by getting the image of the root window, which automatically
// includes all child windows.
package main

import (
	"log"

	"github.com/BurntSushi/xgb/xproto"

	"github.com/BurntSushi/xgbutil"
	"github.com/BurntSushi/xgbutil/xgraphics"
)

func main() {
	X, err := xgbutil.NewConn()
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}

	// Use the "NewDrawable" constructor to create an xgraphics.Image value
	// from a drawable. (Usually this is done with pixmaps, but drawables
	// can also be windows.)
	ximg, err := xgraphics.NewDrawable(X, xproto.Drawable(X.RootWin()))
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}

	// Shows the screenshot in a window.
	//ximg.XShowExtra("Screenshot", true)

	// If you'd like to save it as a png, use:
	err = ximg.SavePng("screenshot.png")
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}

	//xevent.Main(X)
}

Yup, that's exactly what I tried, and yet it still produced a blank png image (that does have the right size though). The method you use in burdet does work, so I'm not sure what's going wrong here.
