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. dan -- Daniel Macks [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by Sleepycat Software Learn developer strategies Cisco, Motorola, Ericsson & Lucent use to deliver higher performing products faster, at low TCO. http://www.sleepycat.com/telcomwpreg.php?From=osdnemail3 _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
