This misses the point.  The original poster wanted to capture a piece of
the screen AFTER the fact.  In general this is only possible if you are
running a windowing system on top of Unix.  Several windowing systems with
such capabilities exist; unfortunately, no standard is yet evident (though
the folks at Berkeley are actively investigating this issue).
