One trick would be running xwd from the command line, with by a fixed
delay to give you enough time to get to the screen you want to capture.
Something like this:

  sleep 10 && xwd | convert - screen_capture.png

You can also use the screenshots I've uploaded to the wiki.

You'd first need to setup a schoolserver, which can be done in 30
minutes on a recycled PC. having a schoolserver around is crucial to
test backups, collaboration and a number of other features needed by
deployments.
