Ooh, this gets me the exact behavior I want:

gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys screenshot ''
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys window-screenshot ''
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys area-screenshot ''
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys screenshot-clip 'Print'
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys window-screenshot-clip '<Alt>Print'
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys area-screenshot-clip '<Shift>Print'

This disables the (worse than useless as described above?) gnome
screenshot GUI by setting the keyboard shortcuts to directly go to the
clipboard. Note that these are available with the Ctrl modifier by
default, but I prefer the clipboard versions as the standard.

Bonus - it supports Print (full screen), Alt-Print (window), and Shift-
Print (mouse-defined selection)!

Everything I wanted.  Linux customizability for the win.

Title:
  Must exit screenshot app to take another one

Status in gnome-screenshot package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Not sure if this is really a bug, but it surely irritates me.

  Whenever I take a screenshot (printscreen) the Screenshot app fires
  up. I then copy the screenshot to my clipboard, open up gimp and do
  whatever i need to.

  After that, if I need another screenshot. I press printscreen again.
  This time nothing happens. I have to manually quit the Screenshot app,
  and printscreen it again. I would prefer the printscreen button to
  override the existing printscreen, regardless of whether the
  screenshot app is running.

  Regards,
  Rob
