I need the picture both for reports/papers and for prosper
presentations; in particular, prosper is incompatible with pdflatex,
so I tend to prefer eps figures. Then I first produce dvi files and
then convert them to pdf.

Based on your suggestions, I get good results by the following:
1) take the screeshot as a png file (at high resolution)
2) convert it to eps with imagemagick
3) include the eps figure in the latex file (no pdflatex)
4) convert the resulting dvi document to pdf.
One thing that I didn't notice at first is that, even though the eps
picture seems to have a very low quality, the final pdf document is
nice.

Best,
   Marco
