If you don't want to install any special programs, xwd(1) which comes with X |

the two commands together, but here is a simple two step example. |

UNIX> xwd -root > display.xwd |

UNIX> convert display.xwd display.png |

If you need something a bit more flashy, GIMP seems to be the most popular. |
