You could try my screen-shooter applet...
http://www.tomgilbert.freeserve.co.uk/screenshooter.html
</plug>

Or you could use the import command (which screen-shooter uses as a
backend).

For grabbing a window, just do
$ import imagename.jpg
For the whole desktop,
$ import -window root image.jpg

Optionally add a -quality 75 command, for a smaller file...

Tom.
