I had that problem also. Here is a solution that worked for me.

On workstation A, set up your windows.
Run xwininfo to get the window ID (or name) of the window you want to dump.
Set up all windows (and mouse)  as you want them.

On terminal B, login to your system.
               Run xwd with the -id (or -name) option.
Then you don't need the mouse to select it.
