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.

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 ;) ).

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.
