I'm a sys admin at work and I frequently use:
/usr/bin/X11/xwd -display remoteDisplay:0 -root | xwud [-display DISPLAY:0]
to look at some "clueless newbie's" X screen. I think xwd and xwud are part
of the standard X distribution although I have not checked if it's on my
linux system at home. I'll check tonite.
