Here's how to do it exactly. I have tested this and it works:
// holder variables
int width = 0;
int height = 0;
// get the root window
// NOTE: if you have multiple monitors, this may not grab the correct root
window
// or it may grab the entire desktop if it is stretched over multiple
screens (a la xinerama)
// there are ways to enumerate the screens and pick the one you want...
Gdk.Window root = Gdk.Global.DefaultRootWindow;
// get its width and height
root.GetSize(out width, out height);
// create a new pixbuf from the root window
Gdk.Pixbuf screenshot = Gdk.Pixbuf.FromDrawable(root, root.Colormap, 0, 0,
0, 0, width, height);
// save it
screenshot.Save("~/screenshot.png", "png");
// or do whatever you want with it...
