How do I take a screenshot??

As nuka_t suggested, if you're using KDE, ksnapshot is an excellent choice. Most likely it can be found in Utilities > Desktop > Ksnapshot. -- J.W.

I think though it's a lot better if you pause your video rather then try to time it to get a shot... See if it will come out then... but never seen that problem on any screens I have taken.

Its possible that your configuration isnt using a hardware acceleration layer, ergo your screenshots will capture the video frames correctly.

Hmm, looks like I was wrong. I had to use xine to get a snapshot - both ksnapshot and imagemagick's import command produce either a transparent or totally blue image in mplayer for me.
