Try gtk-vector-screenshot. According to it's specs it can only make screenshots of GTK3 applications but maybe you are lucky. I used it some time ago and it was fine.

You can install it by:

sudo apt-get install gtk-vector-screenshot

and run it by:

take-vector-screenshot

Some sources also say you have to logout and login again before you can use it.

  • Unfortunately, this tool embeds the captured screenshot from png to svg format. Tool does not really captures any svg paths.

    @AviMehenwal I would argue that there are no SVG paths to directly capture since a screen is alway pixel matrix. If the taken PNG is pixel perfect and than converted to SVG, it should make no difference.
