The standard tool that comes with all X Windows distros including
XFree86 is xwd. For details see the man page. However it is a somewhat
cryptic UNIX tool from the good old days. There are several other
utilities that do this too (some of which use xwd on the backend)
including xv (usually used for viewing pictures). I would look
around on freshmeat.net for other utilities that do this too.
In fact that's where I would have looked first before sending mail
to the ALE list.
