It's only an example.  If you don't want a screenshot of the active
window, then specify a different one. You could also delay that
command like this:

 $ sleep 10; maim -i $(xdotool getactivewindow) ~/mypicture.jpg

Then you've got 10 seconds to activate whatever the widow you do want
a screenshot of.
