If user just installed Qubes, the full templates can have updates
available. If user restored backups of templates and standalones, they
could also have updates available. Available updates can contain fixes
that if not applied, can make the states fail, such as a buggy salt
package and Qrexec service that can make a state fail in case the
full outdated templates and standalones are responsible for the
functionality specially of management_dispvm, updatevm, default_netvm
and qubes.UpdatesProxy service.
- Maim causes no errors and has region and window capabilities;
- Scrot region capture puts some weird borders when dragging the mouse;
- Spectacle allows editing but is too feature rich (complicated); and
- Xfce4-screenshooter does not allow selecting both region and window.

Updates happens multiple times, normally 2 to 3, even if we consider a
state without includes. On states with multiple includes, it could
easily get approximately 10 updates being ran. This behavior leads to
unnecessary network bandwidth being spent and more time to run the
installation state. When the connection is slow and not using the
cacher, such as torified connections on Whonix, the installation can
occurs much faster.
Adding external repositories has to be done prior to update to ensure it
is also fetched.

Provided in the default Dom0 installation as it brings a much better
usability and small packages.
KDE ships with kdialog but without a screenshot utility.
Xfce ships with xfce4-screenshooter but without a dialog utility.
Scrot and Zenity are minimal tools that works on both DEs and are very
small packages.
