Curt, apparently Suse implemented the CTRL-PrtScr and ALT-PrtScr for screen captures. CTRL-PrtScr captures the whole screen to the paste buffer, while ALT-PrtScr captures only the active window or sub-window. You can then paste these into your favorite program, such as OO Writer, Gimp, or probably even some mail clients.
There's also the venerable "xwd" program, which is a part of X-Windows: xwd -root -out screenshot.xwd Then to make it into a little better format, use ImageMagick's "convert" program: convert screenshot.xwd screenshot.png Make sure you delete the .xwd file, as it gets huge (uncompressed bitmap type file). One I just made to test this out is almost 8MB on my 1600x1200x24bpp display, which shrinks down to just under 500K after I convert to png format.
