  $ xwd -root > root.dmp

xwd(1) is loads of fun. It's especially a kick to grab other people's
root windows (since loads of commercial X servers run with no access
controls by default and lots of people never change this),

  $ xwd -root -display some-server-host:0 > some-server-host.dmp

But there are so-o many fun games to play with unsecured X servers
it's hard to pick just one.
