Enabled SysRq and can't take Screenshots

I enabled my SysRq key and now can't take screenshots. I have no idea why this happened. I enabled it so that I could have a failsafe way to shut the system down in case of a failure and then this happened. Any clues?

I'm a big fan of SysRQ too.

How did you activate sysrq? /etc/sysctl.conf?

Since you mentioned screenshots, you must be in the gui? What's your screenshot hotkey? I'm pretty sure you can override the default printscreen hotkey in gnome if that's what you're using.

This is strange though, because sysrq is a different key than printScreen.

Yep I enabled it through /etc/sysctl.conf.
My screenshot hotkey is the same as the SysRq. I'm using a Korean keyboard. I've had both working before (Fedora 10).

I am using Gnome so how would you change the hotkey value for taking screenshots?

Thanks for checking this post out by the way.
