The only way I know of is to start up a second terminal and use some screen
capture tool (e.g. xwpick).

The main problem with trying to automate this seems to be that there doesn't
seem to be a way of converting the IDL widget identifier to the one the X-server
is using (a useful addition to WIDGET_INFO for a future release????) as then
xwpick could be spawned with the ID as an argument and thus save the manual
operations.
