I should have thought this was a window manager task, not a desktop
environment (e.g., gnome) task.

I use sawfish.  There the following line of config would cause a
screen dump on meta-A.

    (bind-keys global-keymap "M-A" '/usr/bin/scrot)

It could be configured less arcanely using the graphical config tool.
