I just had the misfortune to press Shift-{print screen} accidentally while in a Gnome desktop, and the result was a completely unresponsive system where the only recovery was a power switch initiated shutdown. Further investigation shows the runaway creation of gnome-screenshot processes.
System is CentOS 5.2 fully updated on an Intel i686.
Suggestions about what component should receive the bugzilla report are welcome.

Are you able to recreate it? It happened to me once, I've never seen the issue again after that.

100% repeatable on two different machines.

I've opened bugzilla report #0002971 against metacity, since that appears to be what interprets the {print screen} key.
