I added support for -x (for xprop ?) option to the bin/apport-bug script, which will enable user to point at the problematic window and generate a crash report for that application.
I used Matt Zimmerman's idea of implementation in the code as discussed above
However, the idea of adding ability for taking screenshot is still left as gnome-screenshot does not provide any straight forward functionality to do this. It would require the user to select the window twice, (first time for xprops, and 2nd time for gnome-screenshot). I think doing this will cross the scope of a bitesize bug :-).
