xwd -out file.xwd
(button-1 click on window you'd like to dump)
convert file.xwd file.png
...use -root to dump the entire screen instead of just 1 window. xwd
should be installed in most distros, though the modular nature of
recent Xorg means it doesn't *have* to be. For a more user-friendly
interface, use ksnapshot or the GNOME equivalent. For extra credit,
use xbindkeys to bind PrintScrn to "xwd -root -out ~/temp.xwd &&
convert ~/temp.xwd ~/temp.png" with some additional junk to prevent
overwriting of previously existing files. HTH,

and shouting "Yippee!" during the ride. --brap in Fark thread 2303894
