xwd, xsnap, xgrabsc all dump windows to a file but they all suffer from
the problem that they only dump the part of a window that is visible on
the screen. I have also tried these programs under the two virtual
window managers tvtwm and vtwm and even then all that gets dumped is
the part of the window that is visible on the screen.

I would like to dump a window that is larger than my screen and I want
all the window, not just the part that is visible on the screen. Any
ideas?

Thanks,
Tony Cooper
