The first thing to try is to carefully tile all the windows on the
screen. Avoid overlaps or extra de-iconified windows. If you still
see flashing of windows up and down, switch window managers. Taking
screen shots of ordinary windows without double-buffering is a tricky
business, and the insane complexity of X window management doesn't
simplify things.
How many snapshots do you get?
