I've never understood the need for screenshots in documentation.  They go out
of date quickly (especially in open source software) and they seem redundant
(the user is already looking at the application, so can't they just read the
words and determine what it's talking about?)
</soapbox>

On a more serious note, thank you for pointing out these things that need
updating.  Hopefully someone will come up with "copious free time" to fix them
sooner rather than later :)
