Linux and 'screenshot' Applications

I had to again search for ways to take a screen shot in Linux while working on a blog post. A quick google revealed the following ways to take a screen shot in Linux (primarily these methods work on Gnome, I will add newer methods for KDE as I find them):

1. Using PrintScreen button (alt+printscreen for the active window only)
2. Using ImageMagick (from command line)
3. Using Scrot (from command line)
4. Using 'gnome-panel-screenshot' (for Gnome)
5. Using ksnapshot (for KDE)
6. Using Gimp
7. Using Firefox web browser extension - Snapper
8. Using Firefox web browser extension - ScreenGrab
