You can take a look at thr comand import wich comes with the ImageMagic set of tools .. Its has lots of option ..

from the man
import - capture some or all of an X server screen and save the image
to a file.

If you want to make a jpg fast, use the import command. Example : "import my.jpg" (without the quotes). You should see a cross hair pop up. Stretch an elastic box around the area you want, and release the left mouse button. You will find the file my.jpg in your home directory. Have a look at the man pages for more information.

Gimp is able to take individual window shots

yes, import is great, but i need it to work in scripts, but most important, i need to specify a obscured window and have it get its picture, WITHOUT raising the window ..

also don't use KDE or GNOME, so I'm hopping for command line program (for a script)
