[Nix-dev] ImageMagick and xwd

Hello,

I'm used to do screenshots with xwd and imagemagick like this:

    xwd -root | convert - screenshot.jpg

Currently (17.03pre95306.a24728f (Gorilla)) with imagemagick 6.9.6-2 I
cannot convert xwd dumps to jpgs anymore:

    $ xwd -root | convert - screenshot.jpg
    convert: no decode delegate for this image format `' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/504.
    convert: no images defined `screenshot.jpg' @ error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/3257.
    
I tested with the version of commit fa6c6dae7 (which is 6.9.5-10)
successfully but with the update to 6.9.6-2 (commit 241cd0e5d) it
stopped working. So it looks like it is not supported anymore with
imagemagick 6.9.6?

I could not find related info doing a quick search on the web. Does
anyone know more about this?

Thanks and regards
Eike
