you can't grab the display of xine because it use Xv extension. The display
of the movie on the screen is render by the video card. xine computes the
display in memory and the video card grabs it in order to replace the blue
color of the root display. This is why you see a blue color on your
screenshot.
The (almost) only way of doing a movie shot is by xine which know where is memory of the
movie. So, until xine offers a grab fonction, you can't take a shot. If
you really want to grab a picture of the movie, disable the Xv rendeering
but be ready to lose many many frames.
