xwd -id $(xlswins | grep "Fvwm Pager" | awk '{print $1}') | xwdtopnm |
ppmtogif > pager.gif

(all on one line) will give you a pager.gif from a ksh/bash script. You
could run this from cron to give a snapshot at regular intervals. If
you're worried about being sued for using GIF software you could use
ppmtojpeg or even pnmtopng.

It would be nice to set a short expiry date on the picture so that
clients don't use an old cached copy but I don't know how to do that.

Cheers,
Tim.
