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.
