linux screen snap

Hi,
I work on SuSE 10, and i use to capture screen the following method:

Code: 
xwd -out screenshot.xwd -root
gimp screenshot.xwd

But, this method is silly and annoying when i want to capture many views...

Can anyone suggest an easier method to capture screen in Linux? (I prefer to be code independant, i.e. uses a short cut key such as print screen or whatever...)

Thanks alot in advance,
Ahmad,
 

You can use the screen capture function of xv, or you can find utility applications specifically designed for this purpose, such as xgrab.

Click to expand...

How can i use that function?!?!
Can you mention steps to follow?
I don't use Linux form very long time ago.. so my experience in it may be limited..

Best Regards,
Ahmad,
 

Here is a basic explanation: **broken link removed**

If xgrab doesn't work for you for some reason, there are other similar apps that will help you to easily capture screen images.
 
u can use the usual PRINT SCREEN key in the keyboard....
