How to take higher resolution screenshots with CutyCapt
Assume i take a screenshot via xvfb-run -s "-screen 0 1920x1080x16" cutycapt --url ... --out ... then i [have learned][1] that cutycapt will not use the X sessions parameters.

We want to create screenshots of websites for our software, and we are doing this by using CutyCapt with Xvfb.
Unfortunatly every time CutyCapt takes a screenshot, the memory of Xvfb increases .. until the memory of the boy explodes.
This is not bound to CutyCapt, it seems that the Xvfb doesn't clean some memory when the application quits.
Are there any solutions (except restarting Xvfb (which we do now via cron as a hotfix)).
I start Xvfb with
Xvfb :1 -screen 0 1280x1024x24
(in a script of course ;) )

CutyCapt seems to ignore the Xvfb screen size parameters
I have a problem using [CutyCapt](http://cutycapt.sourceforge.net/) to create images rendered for a particular screen size. For example, if I do these: xvfb-run --server-args="-screen 0, 800x600x24" \ ~/bin/CutyCapt/CutyCapt --url='http://stackoverflow.com/search?page=2&tab=relevance&q=cutycapt%20xv...

xvfb-run --server-args="-screen 0, 800x600x24" \
~/bin/CutyCapt/CutyCapt --url='http://stackoverflow.com/questions/65078/what-is-the-best-way-to-create-a-web-page-thumbnail ' \
--out=STACKOVERFLOW_2.png
I get images of sizes:
STACKOVERFLOW_1.png : 975x2611
STACKOVERFLOW_2.png : 975x2226
I believe any stackoverflow page will be of a width of 975 pixels. This is not what I asked (w=600).
Is it possible to create images using CutyCapt with Xvfb that are rendered for a particular screen width?
