you can do this with the 'import' utility that is a part of the
'imagemagick' suite available at sunfreeware.com.

the command line would be something like this:

import -display $display -window root $name.png

where $display is the unix display number so for the fist head would
be '0:0' and $name would need to be something unique (probably a
timestamp) the extension sets the image type (here I was doing PNG)

I have used this utility to make screenshots of all my graphics by
running a script to call them up in a loop and then saving them to a
PNG. I think something similiar could work for your application, it
would just require you to load the imagemagick package on the box.
