On my machine the "prtSc" key only shoots the open dialog, refusing to shoot a total of, even an empty desktop.
The "take screenshot" through the menu does do this correctly.

I know this is probably a parameter that is set wrongly but, given that there's no menu option in the tool itself to set that (... but there is a "crop" option). IMO that should always be set to fullscreen by default or have a simple GUI way of setting those params.

EDIT:
I just discovered the difference between "take shot" and "take screenshot" keybinding. :)
Which doesn't actually change the unavailability in the GUI.

take shot under "window : actions" is to take a shot... of a window. it's in that section for a reason. there is "Take screenshot" under screen for the whole screen... it's under that group ... because that's what it's related to. :)

you take a shot and the next thing you get is a dialog with the image you can zoom in and out and scroll around - select things in it (sxcreens, windows with or without padding - just click on them - keep clicking to cycle the selection) ro click+drag for a custom cropped region... from here you get to share/save/copy etc.
