xwd will create a screen dump, the command:
"xwd [-root] | xwdtopnm | pnmtopng > foobar.png" will create a png
file, if -root is specified the whole root window will be grabbed, 
otherwise xwd will wait for you to point a window for it to grab.
(There are more options, man xwd.) I noticed that my pngs are tinted
to the green side after the command, so I used The Gimp to do my
screen captures.

(see http://cs.joensuu.fi/~ramin/desktop.png for a screenshot of my
desktop.)
