Run a screenshot tool in the qube for the “within qube” case, and use print screen key for a screenshot of the whole OS (it happens in dom0), it will run xfce4-screenshooter.

What if many windows of the same qube are opened how the screenshot will appear?
Also where can I find xfce4-screenshot screenshots? in other words where they will be saved?

the program will tell you, but they will end you in XDG_PICTURES_DIR as defined in ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs in dom0. For English users, it’ll be ~/Pictures.
If you have multiple windows opened on the same qube, and you take a screenshot from that qube, they will appear like this:
- all opened (even if they are minimized from dom0 point of view)
- all stacked in a single virtualk desktop (it’s dom0 point of view to use virtual desktops, the qube is not aware of this)
- they should overlap in the order of being active, so latest active will appear above one that was active before

If you take a screenshot of the whole screen the image will be stored in the Dom0 Qube. To exfiltrate it to an application Qube, use this in a Dom0 terminal.
