For me it works but does weird things (how do I find out the IM version?). With an rxvt window, the client part of the window is shifted about 23.5 rows upwards and 10 columns to the left before the image is captured. With xterm it is the same. An xv client window is reduced to about 10 pixels in height before capturing. The windows stay in the screwed up state until they get a ConfigureNotify (e.g. after moving or resizing the window). The frame is included in the image in both cases. To me it seems that import is making assumptions about the internal layout of the window manager frame and fiddles with windows of other clients. This looks pretty broken to me, but I will look at what happens in fvwm anyway.
