Thanks to all who have replied. I found the problem. Initially when I 
faced the problem, I was taking the screenshots on machine B which is 
accessing machine A using nxclient. When I logged in directly on machine 
A, I was able to take the screenshots with import, ksnapshot etc., So I 
am guessing the culprit is nxclient.

thanks
