xwd -root > file.xwd This format is a bit ... obscure, but it can be converted to ppm with xwdtopnm (in the netpbm package), and you can look at a captured image with xwud. I occasionally do this to get a look at the X screen on a remote machine: ssh -C remotemachine 'DISPLAY=:0.0 xwd -root; sleep 30;' | xwud Also, xwd is free (it's in xbase). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
