Here you are just calling GNOME/KDE's screenshot taking tools. import
is the more appropriate utility to be called command line.
import -window root screenshot.png
Use this to take the screenshot of whole window. If you don't want to
include terminal in which this command was typed or if you want to
rearrange windows before screenshot is taken, use sleep command before
import. eg
sleep 10;import -window root screenshot.png
Use import screenshot.png to take screenshot of a portion of the screen.
