First do some handy RTFM:

----------------------snip----------------------------
for i in xwd import convert;
do
man $i;
done
----------------------snip----------------------------

Then from a virtual console execute any of the following two commands:

xwd -display :0 -root | convert - JPEG:/tmp/sshot-`date +%y%m%d_%H%M%S`.jpg
import -display :0 -window root /tmp/sshot-`date +%y%m%d_%H%M%S`.jpg

imagemagick: /usr/X11R6/bin/convert
imagemagick: /usr/X11R6/bin/import
xbase: /usr/X11R6/bin/xwd

Eat this, fancy GUI addicted people! ;-)
