    Isn't there a 'Save Screenshot' option on the Actions menu? Have you tried that / or is it there for you?

    The print screen button on the keyboards been working for me and I can't recall setting it up that way. Try that out. It's the one to the left of the scroll lock...just in case you weren't sure.

    Two ways...

    1. Desktop > Take Screenshot

    2. Open a terminal and input:
    Code:
    $ gnome-panel-screenshot
    With options for active window only w/delay of 5 seconds:
    Code:
    $ gnome-panel-screenshot --window --delay=5
    It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

    lo
    Code:
    apt-get install image-magick
    Code:
    import -window urscreen.png
    It's a very powerful tool to take screens, frames and so on...see man import

    Not a bad idea really since many users run both environments.
