Description
    The functions in this section allow you to take the image data
    from a GDK drawable and dump it into a GdkPixbuf.  This can be
    used for screenshots and other special effects.  Note that these
    operations can be expensive, since the image data has to be
    transferred from the X server to the client program and converted.

Transfers image data from a Gdk drawable and converts it to an RGB(A)
representation inside a GdkPixbuf.
If the drawable src is a pixmap, then a suitable colormap must be specified,
since pixmaps are just blocks of pixel data without an associated colormap.
If the drawable is a window, the 
cmap argument will be ignored and the
window's own colormap will be used instead.
If the specified destination pixbuf dest is NULL, then this function will
create an RGB pixbuf with 8 bits per channel and no alpha, with the same size
specified by the 
width and height arguments.  In this case, the dest_x and
dest_y arguments must be specified as 0, otherwise the function will return
NULL.  If the specified destination pixbuf is not NULL and it contains alpha
information, then the filled pixels will be set to full opacity.
If the specified drawable is a pixmap, then the requested source rectangle
must be completely contained within the pixmap, otherwise the function will
return 
NULL.
If the specified drawable is a window, then it must be viewable, i.e. all of
its ancestors up to the root window must be mapped.  Also, the specified
source rectangle must be completely contained within the window and within
the screen.  If regions of the window are obscured by noninferior windows, the
contents of those regions are undefined.  The contents of regions obscured by
inferior windows of a different depth than that of the source window will also
be undefined.
dest :  Destination pixbuf, or NULL if a new pixbuf should be created. src :  Source drawable. cmap :  A colormap if src is a pixmap.  If it is a window, this argument will
be ignored.
src_x :  Source X coordinate within drawable. src_y :  Source Y coordinate within drawable. dest_x :  Destination X coordinate in pixbuf, or 0 if dest is NULL. dest_y :  Destination Y coordinate in pixbuf, or 0 if dest is NULL. width :  Width in pixels of region to get. height :  Height in pixels of region to get. Returns :  The same pixbuf as dest if it was non-NULL, or a newly-created
pixbuf with a reference count of 1 if no destination pixbuf was specified; in
the latter case, 
NULL will be returned if not enough memory could be
allocated for the pixbuf to be created or if the image data could not be
retrieved from the drawable.
