[Qgis-community-team] Documentation screenshots

[Alexandre Neto]

I am not sure if the QGIS gui output inside a docker container is stable
enough in all platforms. But a VM would be perfect for that.

Still, that implies another layer of work for documentation writers. So, I
would prefer to allow adding/updating figures using the any desktop
environment.

Maybe we should change the writing guidelines saying that the screenshots
should be done preferably using Desktop X. Instead of forcing it.
