I had the same issue, until I learned that it is too
simple to believe: just press the "Print" key on your
keyboard, and you have a "Screenshot..." file in your
home directory.

Now, if you do not want the full screen, you may press
Shift-"Print" to select the region with the mouse. Press
Enter, and done. Alt-"Print" gives you a screenshot of
the window your mouse is over.

Admittedly, having the Screenshot* files in the home
directory is not the perfect world, but the rest of
this works quite well.

So long -
