I think this was discussed not too long ago, but I wasn't paying attention then; sorry for the repetition. In general, the title pretty much says it all. Specifically, I want to get screen dumps of a Motif application *with* popup and pulldown menus active (of course not both at the same time). Does anyone know of a way to get this done?

Assuming your menus grabs the pointer, but not the server, the easiest solution is probably to activate the menu on your console and simulaneously execuate a screendump program from a separate terminal (hardwired or rlogin).

You could use xwd with the "-id <window_id>" option from a separate terminal. I believe <window_id> can either be in hex or decimal. -Jigish

On a Sun, you could always go to an xterm, start a delayed screen dump with 'sleep 10; screendump file' and use the fbm utilities to print the screen display (or cut out the relevant portions).
