The thing is that newer gnome-screenshot versions don't get the window by default when pressing the PrintScreen key. Instead it saves the image into disk directly. Take a look into your "PICTURES" directory. execute $ xdg-user-dir PICTURES to discover what the directory is. Note that if for some reason that directory does not exist the capture will fail. If so do: $ xdg-user-dir-udate. HTH Rodrigo.
