Prompting the user "are you *sure* you really meant to take a screenshot? Yes/No" when he presses Print Screen is just a way to piss her off.
Please don't mix everything and read carefully what I said.

Pressing "Print screen" IS the event that proves the physical user of the computer wants it, not another app. No need for a popup. The pop up is only useful if no user intent is not known by the compositor. That is to say, when an app that didn't get run in response to a print-screen hot key tries to get a screenshot, it shouldn't be allowed without the user's consent.

What Sebastian wants is simply to have a pool of trusted apps who can access restricted interfaces. I find this insufficient for the reasons I listed before (what happens if you install an app that allows taking screenshots and save them to a file automatically? without any input from the user? Well, you just lost the confidentiality of your display, too bad...).

Cheers,
Martin
