Sit Heel Speak, you are correct in believing that my screenshot function works (out-of-the-box) on my Inspiron 910 netbook. However,....
Ahem... I kinda' hate to bring this up, but believe I've been running Xorg with Boxpup 413. Back in the Dingo time-frame, it was either Xvesa or the extra steps to bring up the generic driver in Xorg that would work on my netbook. Somewhere around Puppy 4.1 ~ 4.1.2's introduction, Xorg began working correctly out-of-the-box with a 1024x600x24 screen resolution.
Keep in mind that I'm just an end-user and that if Puppy is somewhow defaulting to Xvesa after I choose Xorg... then that is something I cannot speak inteligently about. I am simply not aware of that as a realistic possibility. To my knowledge, I have been using Xorg in all of these tests.
A couple of finer points to bring up, in the hope that they will be helpful:
1) I don't recall getting the leafpad Success Notification when trying your first .pet; Perhaps I was not waiting long enough afterwards? (I did get the small system notification -- just not the additional text file for Leafpad)
2) If you wish to add an additional screenshot capture function, I might suggest a 4 ~ 5 second delay. I had a bugger of a time getting the menu to come up for the shot given previously (using the touch pad interface), and that was with a 3-second delay.

P.S. - If it would really help you, I could try to post some file outputs from my system -- but you will have to give me the commands to run and instruct me on pasting the results to a text file. Just let me know, so that I can start begging for personal internet access again...
