How do I take a screenshot of the alt-tab menu?

Question

In Ubuntu 12.04, when I press alt+tab, the following menu comes up:

(TODO: take screenshot of alt-tab menu)

But while I have the alt-tab menu up, when I press Print Screen, and therefore Alt+Print Screen, it takes a screenshot of the active window.

I had this trouble myself, but there's a sneaky workaround.

Open "Screenshot" from the Dash and set a timer before the shot, about 5 or so seconds. Then, click "Take Screenshot" and hold Alt+Tab. You should get a screenshot.

Works well, I generally use 3-second delay. – david6 Jun 08 '12 at 06:15
