Great, this sounds hopeful.
Do you know if there are there any permission issues surrounding this?
For example, do you think this would work as a regular application on
end consumer devices?

It is for the purpose of creating something technologically similar to a
water screen saver.
I've no big knowledge of the subject, but I guess the easiest approach is to
use dbus to grab the screenshot.
From the "grabscreen" script on the device, the cli command is something like:
dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=org.nemomobile.lipstick \
/org/nemomobile/lipstick/screenshot org.nemomobile.lipstick.saveScreenshot
string:"$filename"
Where $filename is the file to save to. Maybe other methods than saveScreenshot
is available? I have no idea how to query for available methods.
