My direct mail bounced so here goes:

    If you are running X10, I wrote a utility that does just that
(it dumps any color X window).  If you are running X11, I believe the
command is:

 xwd | xpr -device ps -out file.PS

I was told by other people that this would work, but I haven't tried it
myself.  If it doesn't work, my friend has ported it to X11 which works
and I can mail you if you want.
