Both

 xwd -root | xwdtopnm | pnmtojpeg > screen.jpg

and

 import -window root foo.jpg

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?
