This is the script I use to get a screenshot of the active window,
using "import":

======
#!/bin/bash

SHOTSDIR="${HOME}/screenshots"
DATE="$(date +%Y.%m.%d-%H:%M:%S)"
FILENAME="${SHOTSDIR}/screenshot-${DATE}.png"

WINDOW_ID=$(ratpoison -c "windows %s%i" | grep '^\*')
WINDOW_ID=${WINDOW_ID/\*/}

import -window $WINDOW_ID -quality 90 "${FILENAME}"
