    Hi,

    If you're running Debian, edit the /etc/gdm/Init/Default file and put

    metacity &
    gimp-1.3 &

    near the top, after the PATH line.

    Use alt-tab to bring the Gimp to the foreground. From the Gimp menu,
    File->Acquire->Screenshot. Select a Window after 5 seconds. Click OK.
    Minimize the Gimp and wait until the you see your pointer change to a
    crossfire. Click, File->Save.

    Check it out-> http://ayotte.homeip.net/~rich/gdm_screenshot.png
