I can confirm this behaviour. 'Print' generates
KeyPress event, serial 26, synthetic NO, window 0x4400001,
root 0x3f, subw 0x0, time 13016545, (121,151), root:(476,713),
state 0x0, keycode 111 (keysym 0xff61, Print), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes: ""

but at least on my system, Sys_Req (the button + alt) generates the same
keycode, so this may not be related in fact.
That gnome bugzilla bug suggests that metacity is responsible. maybe
we should file against metacity on the debian BTS -
ii metacity 2.8.8-1 A lightweight GTK2 based Window Manager
