      I don't know what you find "strange" about the BASH script I 
use...it's a straight call to ImageMagicks Import command.
      I would suggest it's not Fluxbox's problem...but something to do 
with the program which is putting the image on
the screen that you want a screenshot of. I know for example if I do 
screenshots of Google Streetviews when I am
using WBAR as a program launcher, there is a blacked out area on the 
left hand side of the screen where WBAR sits. I can imagine
trying to do screenshots of  paused video would be even more complicated.
