I would like to capture an X window as a .gif,
.jpg, .whatever file. I know of a program called
xgrab, but I am not sure it will work with RedHat
version 5.0.

So, my question is, will xgrab work with RedHat 5.0?
If not, what are my options?

Many thanks,
James Lee

You can do that with XV. Click on the "grab" button. Then you can save it
as whatever. (sometimes it does funny things to the palette, at least
on 16 bit displays)

I use import - works with 24 bit.
Example:
import -window root root.jpeg
PS - I use Redhat 4.1
