It was a typo, Dan really meant:

  Key Print A A Exec /bin/sh...

Because when the menu is open no normal activity is done, global mouse
and keyboard bindings do not work (except for those handled by menus),
module commands are not processed and so on. But system works of course.
This is why you should bind it like:

  Key s A CM Exec sleep 15; import -window root /tmp/screenshot.png

Then you have 15 seconds after pressing Ctrl-Alt-S to open any submenus
you like.

Mikhael.
