x-window dumps have extraneous data...

Hi,
On Ubuntu linux (latest version, up to date, with gnome), when I
do an x-window dump (xwd > file.xwd) the dumped image has other
data in the window that seems to be previous data that used
to be in that window. I really only want what is currently in
the window. Any ideas on what causes this problem and how to
get around it?

Roger

Isn't it wonderful how these Windows-clone interfaces like Gnome
make it so easy to run Linux <snicker>?

I'd ditch Gnome. Log into another TTY and start an independent X
session, if nothing else.

Why spend the next three days trying to fix an unnecessary
interface when all you have to do is ignore it?

For the umpteenth time now will you please tell me why konsole is
worse than a plain terminal even though it is many times more flexible?

just put in in your killfile like most here have done
