[Xastir] Saving serial snapshots

[Jim Tolbert]

I confirmed that my snapshot functionality works.   I rename 
snapshot.png.  I move the screen and turn the png snapshot off and then 
on and I get a new one.

The system that is working the best is a laptop running Win Xp and 
VMWare (current) with the Xastir_Hardy_090307 image which has Xubuntu 8.04.

(There is something funky that I haven't figured out yet with the 
hardware on the laptop running the openSUSE)
