Funny you should ask... I've been capturing parts of the screen and outputting
to postscript files using XV v2.21, then using psfig to include them in LaTeX
documents.  XV even gives you a good bounding box.

My suggestion: Abandon the Print Screen application and get XV.  The "grab"
function allows you to capture any part of a screen you want.  And you can
also output an X11 bitmap that you can read into DECpaint to touch up if
you want, then grab it back into XV.  I've also found the CDA viewer nice
for previewing the dvips output before you print it, since XDVI won't show
the postscript images.  And if you do create an image using DECpaint, XV
does a nice job of auto-cropping it down to the minimum size (eliminates
extra border space).
