Hi, I'm curious, is there a way to make screenshots of running screensavers? I want to make some background pictures for my computer that way.

yes it's possible, for example use scrot
Code:
scrot -d 10 xscreensaver.png

and you have 10 seconds to activate xscreensaver before scrot takes the screenshot.
