Here I get good results using xwd, ImageMagick convert to eps
in grayscale and avoiding resizing in the \includegraphics
(i.e. convert to the required size using -geometry).
Example:
xwd > foo.xwd
(click in the window to create the snapshot)
convert -colorspace GRAY -dither -geometry 50% foo.xwd foo.eps
Converting to png and using pdflatex should give good (better?) results.
