Sure, I do this all time time.  Linux has a command called 'import' 
which will capture the contents of any on-screen windows as a gif, jpeg,
or whatever format you want if it has access to the supporting libraries.


On windows you can do this with paint and the clipbook.

Select the window you want to copy, then press ALT-PRINT.  That sucks 
graphic of the whole window into clipbook.  Then you can paste that
into paint, crop it as needed, and save to a bmp.  (I just did this with
IE, the clipbook, and paint on NT4.)

No matter what we think of Linux versus FreeBSD, etc., the one thing I
really like about Linux is that it has Microsoft worried.  Anything
that kicks a monopoly in the pants has got to be good for something.
