What application for taking snapshot?

I know import can take screenshot of the whole screen or a single window. But what if I want to capture an arbitrary rectangle area?

thanks,

If you already have gimp installed, it can do just what you want =>File=>Acquire=>Screenshot=>Select a region to grab

Imagemagick works quite well for taking snapshots, too:

import tries to capture an arbitrary rectangle area by default.

I find "shutterbug" quite easy to use. It's part of 'fox'.
