ogra at horus:~$ gnome-screenshot --help
Usage:
  gnome-screenshot [OPTION...] Take a picture of the screen
...
   -d, --delay=seconds Take screenshot after specified delay [in
seconds]
...

just use gnome-screenshot (which is what your PrintScr key invokes)
from a terminal or teh alt+f2 key combo and define a delay ...
