OK, I'm not sure why I was unable to reproduce this before, but I can now.
Here's the code in question:

    import gtk.gdk
    import gobject
    rootWindow = gtk.gdk.get_default_root_window()
    geometry = rootWindow.get_geometry()
    pixbuf = gtk.gdk.Pixbuf(gtk.gdk.COLORSPACE_RGB, False, 8, geometry[2], \
            geometry[3])
    gtk.gdk.Pixbuf.get_from_drawable(pixbuf, rootWindow, \
            rootWindow.get_colormap(), 0, 0, 0, 0, geometry[2], geometry[3])
    # gtk.gdk.Pixbuf.save() needs 'jpeg' and not 'jpg'
    if fileExt == 'jpg': fileExt = 'jpeg'
    try: pixbuf.save(path, fileExt)
    except gobject.GError:
        raise ValueError, "Failed to save screenshot in %s format" % fileExt

It seems like since the root window has the correct dimensions (at least in my
case), that everything would be fine. But for some reason
gtk.gdk.Pixbuf.get_from_drawable() isn't doing anything - it's leaving the
pixbuf blank.
