Since wxwabbitemu hasn't got GIF Recording yet (we're working on it) I'd like to know if someone knows a Linux program to record a GIF of a part of the screen.

I tried byzanz, but it only allows recording the *whole* screen.

Thanks.

Oh shmibs, thanks a lot, I just added it to the panel and pressed it and that way you can't set options.

I didn't use the Terminal, thanks.

EDIT: I just found how to do it through GUI too
