On Gnome, there's the PRINT SCREEN button, pressed by itself for the
full screen, or with the ALT key for just the active window.

You can run The Gimp, and then capture a screen through it.  Which is
more useful, as you can make it delay the capture, giving you time to
set things up that mightn't, otherwise, be captured (menus, etc.).

No doubt, there's others, too.
