ImageMagick has the 'import' command which can directly capture screen 
to some sensible format such as jpg. You'll get a pointer from which you 
can drag a box on the screen which you want to capture. Alternively you 
can just click an application to take a screenshot of that application 
window. And probably you can make screenshots of the entire screen 
without having to drag a box too
