Yes, when gtk pops up a menu, it does a keyboard grab to ensure that
the menu gets all key events.

I don't believe so, no, but someone else may have a better answer.

Well, you can do what the Gimp's screenshot app does: allow the user to
start the screenshot process, and then have it delay a couple seconds.
So the usage could be:
1. Tell the app to do a screenshot in 3 seconds. (Maybe
ctrl+PrintScreen could be "delayed capture".)
2. Pop up the menu.
3. Wait.
4. App takes screenshot.
