graphics/scrot is a commandline utility, which worked fine for me.

If you in the need to record and replay sessions (ie. for presentations), you 
can do this via net/vnc2swf. As the portname says, this is limited to 
vnc-sessions and does recording in swf-"format". The recorded swf-movies can 
be viewed with realplayer or any other flash capable viewer. Needles to say, 
that this solution eats up some more ressources :)

Cheers,
