Go to Finder, Help menu, Mac Help - search for 'screen shot' - choose Shortcuts for taking pictures of the screen:
â To take a picture of the whole screen, press Command-Shift-3.
â To take a picture of part of the screen, press Command-Shift-4, then drag to select the area you want in the picture.
â To take a picture of a window, the menu bar, the Dock, or other area, press Command-Shift-4, then press the Space bar. Move the pointer over the area you want so that it's highlighted, then click. (If you decide you want to drag to select the area, press the Space bar again.)
â If you press Command-Shift-4 and decide you don't want to take the screen shot, press the Escape key.
â Screen shots are saved as PDF files on the desktop. If you want to put the screen shot in the Clipboard, rather than create a file, hold down the Control key when you press the other keys. You can then paste the picture into a document.
You can also use Grab in /Applications/Utilities
Hope this helps - Jeff

produce a picture of my desktop (as defined by xsetroot -solid black) -- but I was under the impression that they should actually produce a screenshot of what I see when I look at the computer.
Does anyone else experience the same phenomenon? Know why or a work around or some other good way to take a screenshot?
For me (Apple X11 (OS X 10.3), rooted (fullscreen) mode, fvwm2 (from fink)), xwd gives just the background but import (imagemagick-5.5.6-23 from fink) gives *most* windows. But just their contents and some decorations (close box but no borders), no iconified windows. Sounds like something involving some drawing events not getting passed to the x11 display the way xwd and import expect.
