It's me again. Just now I got around to playing with the screen grab
stuff and am still having problems.
As I mentioned before, xv (3.10a) will not grab fvwm2 screens but has
no problem with other window managers. Running at 1024x768, 16bpp.
I now get errors that I never received before. I'm in DOS now so
I sorta forgot it. :-) Something like 'can't grab 0,0 1024x760'.

Anyway, tried xwd as mentioned. Xwd created images that are near black
so they're useless. Almost like someone turned out the lights on the
image. This happens with other wm's also.
Just read on a newsgroup that xwd doesn't support above 8bpp.
Is this true?

Any suggestions on another app with screen grab features?
Not sure if KDE's ksnapshot would work outside of KDE (don't ksnapshot
yet anway).
Thanks,
