Maybe good additions to this list are the checklist of criteria for selecting a screen capture tool at http://www.indoition.com/screen-capture-tool-choosing.htm, as well as the list of screen capture tools at http://www.indoition.com/screen-capture-tools-survey.htm.

I simply press the print-screen button. This cause gnome-screenshot to popup which allows me to save the screenshot as an image or copy it to the clipboard. I don’t understand why this needs to be more difficult.

I’m using abscapture, it’s good because of the alpha channel grabber, so my screenshots preserve transparency and shadow.

[...] Taking screenshots in Linux So you’ve been reading about Linux on ghacks for a few months now and you’ve noticed plenty of screenshots or images of applications in action. Now it’s time you found out just how those images are taken. No it’s not magic, but in one instance it’s ImageMagick. Actually there are a few ways to take screenshots in Linux, ranging from a simple keypress to a command line tool. [...]

Not only GIMP is capable of screenshotting single windows. You can do that with gnome, too. Just keep the ALT button pressed down when hitting the print button.

And if you’ve compiz enabled you should have a look at its screenshot plugin, which enables region-snapping (eg SUPER+Mouse1 and drag) (and automagically saves the output to a specified folder ;) ).

Just another way to take screenshots ^^

HaHaHa, in Linux _everything_ is complicated! You guys need a whole article on how to take screenshots? KDE can’t even take screenshots:

Oh, sorry, there is an eight-step guide to taking a screenshot in KDE on that bug report… it can be done!

On my GIMP version (2.4.6), there is a submenu titled “Acquire” instead of “Create”.

I actually didn’t know about the option…learn something new every day. Thanks. I especially like the reduction of steps when editing a capture. I did find that the GIMP window stayed visible, but you can minimize the GIMP window without losing the capture dialog and that way you can capture all of another program’s screen without a problem.
