Take a look at xwd. It can grab a window including colourmap.
You'll probably need xv too to convert from xwd format to something
!changefsi will read. xv can also grab windows, but I think it has
problems if the window you're grabbing has its own private colourmap.
Hope this helps!

P.s. xwd is a standard X prog. If you have X you should have xwd. You
can even run it remotely (yet another good reason for checking X security
carefuly). xv is available as a set on the RiscBSD ftp site.
