For localization purposes I want to capture a bunch of screenshots from a Linux program. On Windows I was used to use Problem Steps Recorder which automatically saves screenshots from every dialog I visited. Is there a similar program on Linux? Ideal would be an automation of the workflow with resulting screenshots of every page and dialog correctly named and saved.

I have made one called xsr
(X Steps Recorder). You can get it here, but keep in mind that it's still in development.
I'm not aware of an automated tool to do the job, but screenshots are easy enough.
The PrintScreen button, on your keyboard, will snapshot the entire screen and save it to a file in your Pictures
folder.
Alternatively, AltPrintScreen will snapshot just the focused window.
These instructions are correct for Gnome, and I believe Ubuntu Unity does the same. Other desktop environments may vary, but most provide something similar.
