I was thinking about using some GDK features introduced in GTK+-2.0, but no new code has yet been written and we are open for suggestions. I don't think however that using import from ImageMagick is a reasonable solution. xwd is at least guaranteed to be available (on X11) which can't be said about ImageMagick. Salut, Sven
