Running Gimp through a rlogin

Hi,
I am trying to use gimp to take a screenshot of the entire screen. The machine which I am trying to capture from does not have gimp installed; however, I can do a rlogin to a machine on the network that does have gimp. It freezes on my everytime I try to take the screenshot. Has anyone had luck doing a screenshot over a remote login? Thanks in advance for any insight,
Mark

==================

Mark,
Not sure what you are running, but if it is Linux, you might try "ksnapshot" from your KDE screen. It's a bit simpler and you can set it to snapshot the window your pointer is in at the time.

What freezes? Where freezes it? Where do you start which application? What do you mean by "freeze"?

In any case, I use rlogin a lot (wether you use rlogin or ssh does not make a difference if you set your DISPLAY to not use x11-forwarding for example), and gimp works fine on non-local displays, including making screenshots.
