   I would like to be able to specify either that I want an image
   containing a list of windows, or to be able to specify a rectangle
   within the root window that I want dumped. This might actually be useful
   within other windows as well as it would provide a way of leaving out
   an unwanted caption or something like that.

Get the program contrib/asnap.tar.Z.  It will allow you to rubberband
a region on the screen, and will dump the result in either xwd format
or Andrew raster format to a file.
