I just did that, but

$ xwd -root -out ~/captured.xwd

results in an empty file. On the other hand, I tried running:

$ xwd -out ~/captured.xwd

which resulted in an 83 KB file. Nothing I have available is capable of opening
that file though. I have no idea if that command created anything useful, since
you said the file size would be around 3 MB.
