There are multiple ways, and a combination of imagemagick and xwd
(perhaps xwud to play around with) i what I use.  In the fluxbox
usermenu I have:

[submenu] (Snapshots) {}
   [exec] (Screen) {xwd -root > ~/my_screen.xwd && convert
~/my_screen.xwd ~/my_screen.gif && rm -f ~/my_screen.xwd}
   [exec] (Window) {xwd > ~/my_window.xwd && convert ~/my_window.xwd
~/my_window.gif && rm -f ~/my_window.xwd}
[end]

Actually imagemagick is not necessary to take the snapshot, it is to
convert it to a format other applications besides xwud can use.
