but want to capture an image of the program you're running try using gtk_widget_get_snapshot().  The link 
is:  http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/stable/GtkWidget.html#gtk-widget-get-snapshot .Make the first 
parameter your toplevel window and the second NULL.  This should return a pixmap of the window at the time it 
was called.  However, I couldn't get it to work because I don't have the gtk_widget_get_snapshot() function 
anywhere; it's not in any of the header file that I saw.  If you or anyone knows where this function is I'd 
like to know:  it looks useful.Dave
