No idea what effort that would require, have to see
how the software is
done. Wouldn't it be easier to open the first tdecmshell xserver, take a
snapshot, make the xrandr changes, then open the tdecmshell again and
compare? Just as a temporary workaround at least?
Easier/workaround is as was done in the screenshot. What you suggest amounts to
making screenshots of screenshots and somehow displaying the earlier as if
realtime (without using an image viewer), as the purpose of the exercise is to
demonstrate differing concurrent states to others, not the ability to display
images that could have been constructed arbitrarily from some other environment.
