Do you want to take one picture of the screen?
If so there is KSnapshot and the Gnome Screenshot tool.

If, as I suspect, you want to record video of what is on the
screen there are several tools of with different capabilities.

Byzanz records to an animated gif:

vnc2swf records to a flash file:

Istanbul records to the Ogg Theora video format:

Wink records to several formats, but is not open source.
