Public bug reported:
I accidentally pushed the print screen button for 5 seconds.
Gnome started to create a big mass of Screenshot windows which got more
and more. The system was nearly frozen, because of a lot of hard disk
activity.
I had to wait for a long time (20 minutes or more?) until the system was
usable enough again to click the cancel button on every Screenshot
window.
Don't try this at home ;)
My recommended solution:
Only create one screenshot if you push the Print screen button. To create
another screenshot the print screen button should be released first and then
pushed again
If you need more info, I'll be happy to provide it, but I guess the bug
is easy to reproduce.

Pushing the Print Screen button to long should not render your system unusable
for a long time
