Here is part of my bash script which takes care of taking screenshots. It
uses imlib2_grab. The "displaymessage" is just a wrapper and it uses
whichever one of xmessage, gxmessage, Xdialog or kdialog it detects on the
system. You can insert your own there :P
I usually bind this to my PrintScreen button for a default 7sec delay and
I bind it to my Pause button (calling it with --now switch) for instant
window grabs. You can replace imlib2_grab with emprint or whatever other
command you want (I had import earlier, but imlib2_grab is faster :P).
