I think we're lacking some functions for that. See:

http://www.php-gtk.eu/code-hints/grabbing-a-screenshot-with-gdk

We would need to bind:

gtk_default_root_window

to get the Drawable that represents the whole screen. But you can
already use any other Drawable and use

pixbufGetFromDrawable

to get a screenshot of that window. So it is already possible to take
the screenshot of windows in your own application.

Do you need to take a screenshot of other applications or the whole
desktop?
