do anybody know how to get screenshot (for now in Linux 
only)? May be some library , examples?

simplest might be to just call out to `shellExec("import 
-window root filename.png");` and it will write the file.

Hmm, that's good idea as fast solution. Thank you Adam.

Hi Konstantin,

I've got a simple example in Vala language but it's very easy to 
rewrite it in D thank's to GtkD (and also thanks to Mike Wey for 
his work in GtkD!):

//  compile: valac --pkg gtk+-3.0 --pkg gdk-3.0  screenshot.vala

int main (string[] args) {
    Gtk.init (ref args);

    int  width, height;

    Gdk.Window win = Gdk.get_default_root_window();

    width = win.get_width();
    height = win.get_height();

    Gdk.Pixbuf screenshot = Gdk.pixbuf_get_from_window(win, 0, 0, 
width, height);

    screenshot.save("screenshot.png","png");
    return 0;
}
