As you mentioned Start menu I gather you are on Microsoft windows!
I am however not certain how -window works under Microsoft windows, as I am not a windows user.
I know how it works under X windows. The only thing I can think of is that it is a system specific thing.
Question does the microsoft screen capture ('print' key???) capture the start menu and task bar?

Sorry, I should say that I'm using Ubuntu.
Print Screen key work (it capture desktop icons, start menu etc.).

Well then it should work fine.. Though they don't call it a 'start menu' which is why I thought you were on microsoft windows.
Try this
this grabs the whole display, resizes by half, and displays (show:) the result.
