How about good all xwd (X window dump) + imagemagick?  Examples:

xwd -root > ~/my_screen.xwd && convert ~/my_screen.xwd ~/my_screen.gif
&& rm -f ~/my_screen.xwd
xwd > ~/my_window.xwd && convert ~/my_window.xwd ~/my_window.gif && rm
-f ~/my_window.xwd

1st one to get a snapshot of whole screen, 2nd one to get a snapshot
of just a particular window (you'll have to select it with the mouse).
 You might pipe xwd to convert if you'd like.  I have those lines as
part of my fluxbox usermenu since I remember and they still work, :-)
