I don't know why the options are not made available through the GUI,
but if you type:
gnome-panel-screenshot --help
: in a terminal window, these are the most relevant options you would
want for capturing a window.
Application options
--window Grab a window instead of the entire
screen
--include-border Include the window border with the
screenshot
--delay=INT Take screenshot after specified delay
[in seconds]
I don't see a way to specify only part of a window, though.
Usually I start it from a terminal window on one desktop with a 3 to 5
second delay depending on what I want to capture, giving me the time to
switch back to the other desktop and select the window, menu, etc... so
it shows the way I want it in the screen shot.
There is also an indication that border effects can be specified, but
the possible effects are not listed by the help option and I have not
looked into this to see what effects are possible.
