I think that the gnome window manager doesn't use the print screen key
for anything. You will want to find a program which will capture an
image of the desktop and bind that key to call the program. E.g. import,
from the imagemagick package:

$ import -window root my-desktop.png

Of course, this stores the result in a file, not the clipboard.


Well, in my previous e-mail, I state that once I change the keyboard shorcut to Alt+X, this actually works. I can also see the keyword "Print" inside the keyboard shorcuts when I press the key itself so it's not like the keyboard is broken.

It seems to me like GNOME and possibly metacity is the blame here. I'm not exactly sure on how to solve this at this point.
