How does the "print screen" function work?

["hamb ka" <hamb_ msn com>]

Hi, all

I am writing an application which is supposed to have some kind of 
transparent effect. So I am considering of using the screenshot as the 
background of this application.
"print screen" needs gnome libraries, right? which one?

Thanks & Regards,

hamb
