As far as I know the X protocol offers no way to retrieve the background pixmap of any window. The best approximation is to remove all windows from the current desk and then make a screenshot. For example, from FvwmConsole: all stick off all movetodesk 1 *But* if there is some background image, how did it get there? There should be some readable image file somewhere on the system.
