xwd looks for windows that are children of the server's root window.  tvtwm
creates its own virtual root window.  xwd will have to be modified to look for
windows that are children of this virtual root window.  Any example of this
is given with the tvtwm source.  The window id. of the virtual root window is
given in a Property set on the server's root window.
