How do I take a screenshot of more than my desktop?

Whenever I push 'printscreen' or use the screenshot app I capture only my desktop background, see image:

Update

I tried shutter as per Andrea's advice. But it does the same thing, only returns the desktop. However, it outputs some lines on the console that may mean something to someone:

org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.compiz was not provided by any .service files

GLib-CRITICAL **: Source ID 1083 was not found when attempting to remove it at /usr/bin/shutter line 7249.

  1. I use shutter: 

    sudo apt-get install shutter

    you can then select:

    1. Desktop -> Capture all workspaces
    2. Selection
    3. window, context menu, etc.
