xwd - X Windows Dump

Maybe use:
use "xprop" to get window ID's
"xlsclients" - to get names
Use xview to view the resulting file


Use xprop to get WM_NAME or WM_NAME(STRING).
Use xprop to get WM_CLIENT_LEADER(WINDOW): Window Id #

Use xwd to capture that screen

xwd -nobdrs -out outfile.xwd -name "window_name"
xwd -nobdrs -out outfile.xwd -id 0x4000005

Use xview to view the results

xview outfile.xwd
