    I don't know about kde, this is just a more general solution.

    There are 2 well known utilities to capture windows in X.
    The 2 I'm most familiar with are:
    import (from ImageMajick) and xwd read "man xwd"

    Both of these when run will turn the mouse cursor to a crossahairs,
    which you then click on the desired window. Click on the desktop
    for whole screenshot. Then you will hear a beep, and the file is saved.

    To connect these commands to the Print Screen button, the only thing
    I've seen is xbindkeys
