Keyboard Shortcuts in Gnome
Has anyone got the keyboard shortcut (Applications->Desktop
Preferences->Keyboard Shortcuts) assigned to "Take a screenshot" or
"Take a screenshot of a window" to work for Sarge distribution (latest
release with 2.6.8 kernel, gnome 2.8 and keyboard: pc104, us, xfree86)?
Default setting has the "Print" key assigned to "Take a screenshot" and
<Alt>Print to "Take a screenshot of a window". It appears to be a
hot-key problem. The (Actions->Take Screenshot) works and the
application "/usr/bin/gnome-panel-screenshot" will capture the entire
screen or the active window. Also, I can assign a keyboard shortcut to
<Alt>F12 to pop up the Home Folder. However, if instead I re-assign
<Alt>F12 to "Take a screenshot" or "Take a screenshot of a window" -
nothing! Is this a Gnome or Debian issue? There's a recent Debian bug
report (#384475) which addresses this issue; however, there is a claim
that the PrtScr button does work. It's not clear in the bug report
which distribution (sarge, etch, etc) this report addresses. I have
found this problem on two separate Debian (Sarge) systems.
