That would break well-known user experience. Users are used to press PrintScreen/Alt+PrintScreen on all platforms (even Windows).

If there's a choice between breaking SysRq and Alt+PrintScreen - we should consider breaking SysRq, because:
 * Making single window screenshots is much more demanded task that using SysRq
 * SysRq is used for debugging that itself is not ordinary use case comparing to making screenshots
 * SysRq "has no standard use" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_request

Yes, separate keybindings for direct copying to clipboard would be very handy.
