Still, this might be faster than browsing tons of man-pages to find out what
exactly the right command lines are (at least if the multi-mega program is
already installed and you know how to use it.) The fastest thing, however
might be to ask in this list :-)

KSnapshot allows to save in several formats. If you use jpeg, you can
convert to eps with
convert image.jpeg image.eps2
or
convert image.jpeg eps2:image.eps
