The Gimp (www.gimp.org) has a time delay screenshot function.

So.. click File.. acquire.. screenshot.
Have it take a pic of the whole screen any time (ie.. 30 seconds) later.

If you use Windows just hit Print Screen key (next to the F12). Your screenshot will appear in clipboard, so the next thing is to start your graphic program and hit ctrl+v (paste).
This works with WinXP for sure (even in screensaver mode)

See: http://mchl.republika.pl/boincatpoland/screenshots.html for my shots of BOINC ;-)

And ALT-PrtScr will only capture the currently active window. Makes for less cropping and you don't have to worry about people seeing the uber secret programs running in your taskbar - or is that just me?

Just becaues I'm paranoid doesn't mean they aren't after me!
