Hi,

     I was using xwd to get a screen dump under twm.  I did not specify
the -nobdrs option and yet I can't get the pixels on the window border.
I've also tried xv3 and it seemed to get me the same result.  My screen
dump is mostly white, so it looks really ugly without a border.

     Any thoughts?  I believe that the border actually belongs to twm,
so I am not sure whether it's possible to get it easily.

     Thanks for any help in advance.

-- Ivan
