Screen Capture built-in function without an app (Galaxy S)

You can screen capture any scene while working on your Galaxy S phone, maybe you already know it but i thought it would be useful to share it with those who don't know, you don't need an application, it's a built-in function in Android Froyo 2.2
I dunno if it works on previous versions of android, here we go :

1-Press and hold the Back button (on the right)
2-Press the Home button while holding the back button
3-Done, you'll hear a shutter sound like shooting a photo with ur camera
4-The picture is in Gallery > ScreenCapture
 
I did this by accident this morning. Now everytime i try to do it i can't get it to work. Ill hold down the back button but when i hit the home button nothing happens. Any ideas?

Not sure why. I have an Atrix 4G and there are a lot of things I've learned about my phone, that wasn't in the owners manual. Most I've learned from forums like this.
