You can use Ksnapshot. If you need to capture pull down menus you can use xwd in a script with a sleep delay as in: sleep 5 xwd -root -out output_file.xwd convert output_file.xwd output_file.png rm fred.xwd Start the script then pull down your menu and wait 5 seconds. If you want to capture a specific window instead of the entire screen you can use -name windowname or -id windowid instead of -root. The "convert" command is part of ImageMagick. If you don't have that you can use something else to convert it (don't ask me what, I have ImageMagick ;-) Jan
