    I use this BASH script in my $HOME

#!/bin/bash
filedate=$(date +%m%d%y%H%M%S)
import  $filedate.jpg
exit

(You'll need ImageMagick installed.


   I have this bound to a function key (F11) in my keys file in 
$HOME/.fluxbox.

F11 : exec /home/frank/screenshot

You will get a cross-hair cursor (+)..map out the area you are
interested in holding down the left mouse. When you release
you'll have your shot in $HOME with the date/time in filename.
Works for PNG files as well.
