The ImageMagick “import” command lets you grab the contents of any window (including the root window) from your X server <http://www.imagemagick.org/script/import.php>. It wants an output filename, but of course that can be /dev/stdout, e.g. import -window root /dev/stdout | display -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
