This is a really fun (fair-use and) copyright question! There are so many different edge cases with user data, fonts, creative use of the program, etc. that make it less simple than it might at first seem. I'd love to hear what others are thinking about this and if there have been any interesting law suits over screenshots or the like.
Wikipedia regards a GPL image in a page as part of an aggregation.
Have a look at this image and the licence tags: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:AOO_Writer_4.0.0_Windows_in_Wine.png Note how each piece has a licence tag.
Note also that Wikimedia Commons is *obsessive* about content freedom.
