gnome-screenshot

Sometimes, I want to view a youtube vid in full screen, which hides
the desktop and the panels.

In such cases, how can I take a screenshot of the workspace where I
am playing the youtube vid in full screen mode?

Thanx!

Likely not what you wanted:
1. pause the vid
2. minimize it
3. do screenshot
4. maximize the vid
5. unpause.
6. voila!

You are right - not what I wanted.
I want to snapshot the YT vid in full screen :)

Er, on my XFCE, pressing the "Print Screen" key generally works. Dunno
if it'll work on youtube stuff.

It had stopped working at some point, but today it worked.
I have to hold down the Fn key (Dell Latitude Laptop) and then press F11 
(where Prnt Scrn) is embossed.

Thanx for the reminder.
