325) How do I programatically control xwd to dump a specific window?

I need a non-interactive way to tell xwd what X window to make an image of...
NOT by the traditional point-and-click method.

1. Get the window id of the toplevel shell widget using the "XtWindow"
function.
2. Invoke "xwd" from the program that has access to the window id, such as:

Window dumpId; /* returned from XtWindow */
sprintf (cmd_string, "xwd -frame -out tmp.xwd -id 0x%x", dumpId);
system (cmd_string);
