Well, it was too obvious for me. SSHing works best, a local VT seems not to
work, I can do the screenshot fine, but only get a black image. Seems like
the framebuffer gets overridden with all black when I switch to another VT.

But ssh and a small shellscript did its job perfectly. If anyone 'd like to
reuse it, this was all:

| kandre@sapdeb2(pts/8) ~ % cat bin/screenshot.sh
| #!/bin/bash
| cd ~/Bilder
| eval $( tr '\0' '\n' < /proc/`pidof awesome`/environ | grep -e DISPLAY -e
| XAUTHORITY )
| scrot

Thanks to all for helping me!

Regards, Andre
