If I do this, the screen blinks momentarily, but there is nothing to let 
me choose where to save it or what to call it. I don't even know where 
it has put it.

[later]
It turns out that it *has* used the same Screenshot app as the one in 
Menu > Accessories, because the Screenshot icon (which I put on the 
toolbar so I could find it quickly) has lit up red, and I can bring up 
the screenshot "Save" panel. Odd that it doesn't bring it to the 
foreground by itself. But impressively, it has correctly screenshot 
*both* my monitors (one landscape and one portrait) – not that I would 
ever need that, but good to know. 99% of the time I want to pick the 
area to screenshot, not the whole screen or even window.
