This is one thing I dislike about GTK+/Gnome in general - "clueless users
think XYZ is confusing [because they don't bother to read documentation], so
let's remove features until only something basic remains; who cares about
advanced users that may have actually needed that feature".

How about this: get rid of the delay completely, and instead take the
screenshot when a certain key (eg. F12) is pressed?
