*quick question* good screen capture program?

[josolanes]

i can't believe i'm asking this (as it seems everyone knows of one)

What's a good program that I can use to save the desktop as a pic....to post in the "post your desktop" threads . I found a way to use a terminal for this, but then I'd have a terminal sitting in the middle of the screen :P ...so can someone suggest a program for me?

ksnapshot is the best I've used.

If you usually use KDE, in kcmshell keys search for "shot" to take a screenie without KSnapshot.

I actually haven't used KDE in a while . I run XFCE4, but it's loading both Gnome and KDE libraries so I can run most programs from each

thanks for the suggestion though...sounds like it could be useful

Ksnapshot is useful in that you can easily set your capture on a time delay. That way you can get menu's up if you want them shown in the desktop capture.
