...or if you have ImageMagick installed, all you have to do is type:

import -window root wholescreen.jpg
to grab the entire screen, or:

import window.jpeg and then click a window you want captured.

If you're not sure whether you have ImageMagick installed, type any of the above commands just to see if they respond, or type in "man import" for help/instructions on usage.
