You're asking the wrong people! As a UI designer, I do this sort of thing all the time and what I do is: i. Add a capture button to the panel at the bottom of the screen (right mouse button on panel then Panel | Add | Button then pick Screen Capture from the program list in Multimedia | Graphics); ii. Whenever I want to capture the screen, press that button then save the capture, from the window which pops up, with the default (unique) filename chosen; iii. Import ad lib into KPresenter or KWord. That certainly is not 'literally dozens of steps and keystrokes' (the second step is one mouse click and one button press) and, as a bonus, preserves the capture as a separate PNG file which I file away on CD-RW.
