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,
