If you're already relying on ImageMagick (ships convert), why not use
import?

( sleep 10 && import screen_capture.png )

If you got sshd running (don't know if Dextrose enables it by default)
you can ssh in and trigger the screen shot from remote:

DISPLAY=:0 import screen_capture.png

Or you can do the same from the text console (press
Alt+Ctrl+Neighbourhood).
