I've no big knowledge of the subject, but I guess the easiest approach is to
use dbus to grab the screenshot.
>From the "grabscreen" script on the device, the cli command is something like:

   dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=org.nemomobile.lipstick \
     /org/nemomobile/lipstick/screenshot org.nemomobile.lipstick.saveScreenshot 
string:"$filename"

Where $filename is the file to save to. Maybe other methods than saveScreenshot
is available? I have no idea how to query for available methods.
