It means basically that the video data isn't rendered into the main 
framebuffer, it's "overlaid" onto the image by the video hardware. Thus, 
when you hit the printscreen button and the framebuffer gets copied... 
no image!

Doing it this way given better performance - hence Warp's suggestion to 
turn it back on after. ;-)
