I haven't tried either of these programs. I've been using xwd to get screen dumps, and have had no difficulties. The image generated by xwd can be converted by gimp to jpg, gif or some other more common format. Run: xwd -out myScreenCapture.xwd The cursor will change to a cross-hairs pattern. Click inside the window you want to capture, or on the desktop, outside of any window if you want the whole screen. Alan G.
