As I said some time ago

I cannot invoke d.to.rast to extract the map display content (only the
content of monitors activated via d.mon)... I may be missing something

in fact, for purely illustrative purpose, I usually proceed (a
quick&dirty way...) with sequential screen captures and blend them with
the Gimp.
