I use ImageMagick for screen capture and batch conversions.

It has a GUI but you can do a lot of work from the command line, such
as: format conversion; compression; adding borders, comments and special
effects; cropping, flipping and rotating; and much more.

For example, I used it recently to compress a directory of TIFFs:

for i in *
do
convert $i $i
done

ImageMagick is copyright but free. It runs on almost every UNIX around.
It's also available for Windows NT and Windows 95, but you need X server
software to use it fully, so it's really not suitable for Windows-only
shops.

According to the man page it handles 50+ graphics formats, including
XWD & GIF. For more info, see:

You can download IM source or precompiled binaries from:
ftp://ftp.wizards.dupont.com/pub/ImageMagick/

I used to use XV (also good software) but for me, ImageMagick is better.
