I've seen some people proposing using KSnapshot or Gimp. You can also
use the gnome-panel-screenshot, you have to do it from the command line
though. Clicking Help in the dialogue presented after taking a snapshot
reveals that
gnome-panel-screenshot --delay=<seconds>
Will do what you want.
It's also possible to use 'import' from imagemagick:
import -window root -pause <seconds> <file>

Software is not manufactured, it is something you write and publish.
Keep Europe free from software patents, we do not want censorship
by patent law on written works.
The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the
poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets and steal bread.
