   realize.   
      
   It's possible the PrintScreen key always does something.   
      
   Next time, try pressing PrintScreen, then open Gimp and Paste.   
      
   If you have a Clipboard Manager, take a look in the GUI of the   
   Clipboard Manager and see if the clipboard is getting updated   
   when shift-PrintScreen is pressed.   
      
   It could be, if the key is unbound and not in use by a   
   clever dedicated application, you might still get some   
   usage from the key.   
      
   Another thing to note, some scumbag keyboard companies are   
   removing the PrintScreen/SysRq key. When buying a new   
   keyboard today, shop carefully. This is one reason, my other   
   computer has two keyboards. One keyboard has PrintScreen,   
   the new one does not, both keyboards are connected. One keyboard   
   sits on the top of the desktop PC case, the second keyboard   
   is located right under where the LCD monitor sits. You can never   
   have too many keyboards (apparently).
