Thank you very much Richard and Paul!

I have netpbm-progs installed, but picttoppm is missing. The man page
is there, but the binary picttoppm is missing.
I verified the rpm netpbm-progs-10.19-7.i386.rpm at
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/2/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/
and the binary is missing there too.

So I went to the netpbm homepage
http://netpbm.sourceforge.net/
and compiled it from source in order to get picttoppm.
Converting the screenshots worked and I can open them in GIMP!

Thanks a lot again :-)

Best regards,
Hannes.
