A window screen shot is Alt+Print; whole desktop is Win+Print or Ctrl+Print 
(or is it Alt+Ctrl+Print?), depending on the key setup.  Unfortunately, the 
Print key isn't working in 3.0. :(  I just noticed this today and commited a 
fix to head, but for those not using HEAD, the shortcut would have to be 
changed to something not using the Print key.  Then you can paste into any 
graphics application that'll take graphics from the clipboard.  Maybe we 
could add a dialog box someday asking whether the user would like to save the 
image or put it on the clipboard...

There are options for both desktop and application snapshots.
