Right. So take all conversion out of the pipe. Do `xwd -silent -name "Desk
0" -out pager.xwd`. Or maybe you just have to redirect stdout to
pager.xwd. In any case, don't convert it. I've had the same problem. Then,
look at it in The GIMP. In my experience, it works. Convert from there. A
pain, I know. But, like I said, IIRC -- and I could be wrong -- xwd will
also save to different file formats.
