Dumping root background with xwd

[John Lane]

Hello.

I posted a question on the xorg list asking how to dump the current root
background but I never received a reply. Being unaware of any existing
method to achieve this, I patched "xwd" to do it. My patch allows one to
do this:

    $ xwd -root -bg | convert - bg.png

Here is an example background from a triple monitor display:

without frames.

Would there be interest in this - is it worth me submitting the patch?
