Run on separate display while parent script is in main display #77

I was hoping for a way to specify which display (eg. :1, :2, etc.) pyscreenshot takes from without having the parent script operating on the same display.

This should work if you have an X backend:

os.environ["DISPLAY"] = ":99"
im = grab()
