I personnaly find xwd a little confusing only because it saves it in an 
awkward format.  I personally prefer using xv.  XV allows you to save it 
in either jpg or gif. 

For example I took a screenshot of AfterStep using XV and I think it 
looks quite good.  

You can find it at: http://www.eclipse.net/~chrismar/pics/desk-3.9.98.jpg
( If you care to look of course! )
