Comment(by cmbarton):

 'Save display' or 'save window' is better, at least in English.

 'Save image' could be confusing (what image?) and possibly misleading
 (save the GIS/image file?). What is being done is that what you see in the
 display window (technically a graphic canvas) is being written to a
 graphic format file of your choice.

 In GRASS, most of what goes on is not a display. You can display selected
 maps in a window (graphic canvas), of course. Also, this function is
 called from a button on the top of that display window. so I don't think
 that display is overly generic or confusing in this context. 'Save
 Display' is probably the most accurate and descriptive with the fewest
 words.
