Bug Description
Description of the problem:
In gnome-keybindin
Steps to reproduce:
1. Start gnome-keybindin
2. Scroll down to Take a screenshot.
3. Click on Take a screenshot and press backspace. The shortcut will be set to Disabled.
4. Click on Take a screenshot and press the Print Screen button.
Expected results:
Key to be assigned and Print to appear in the Shortcut column.
Actual results:
A warning dialog saying:
'The shortcut "Print" cannot be used because it will become unusable to type using this key.
Please try with a key such as Control, Alt or Shift at the same time.'
appears.
Additional information:
Pause suffers this problem too (I use it for Play/Pause) and if you set Shift-Pause as a keybinding then rhythmbox and totem will respond to plain unshifted Pause too.

I can confirm this on my desktop too. Note that even though the "Take a screenshot" key is initially assigned to Print, and Alt-Print is assigned to take a screenshot for the current window, neither worked for me initially (hence the attempt to fix it using Keyboard Shortcuts).
My keyboard is possibly strange in this regard: the "Print screen" key is shared with "Sys req", with one printed on top of the other. The Keyboard Shortcuts applet recognizes <Shift> Print, but using both <Alt> and <Shift> together with Print is registered as <Shift> <Alt> Sys_Req...
