it seems you are mistaken. What makes you think xwd can't capture TrueColor?
How are you using the term 24-bit visuals here (24 bit color-depth or
24 bit aligned pixels) ?

what error-message ?

I was thinking about using some GDK features introduced in GTK+-2.0, but
no new code has yet been written and we are open for suggestions. I don't
think however that using import from ImageMagick is a reasonable solution.
xwd is at least guaranteed to be available (on X11) which can't be said
about ImageMagick.
