    Press Alt+F2
    Type in xterm
    This should open a shell terminal
    Type in
    Code:
    import -window root Pictures/screenshot1.jpg
    Select any area, the root stands for the root window, nothing to do with user root

    If you want to capture the whole screen just press the Print button. Quite easy solution.

    A much easier way to get a screen shot is to run the program in /usr/share/applications titled "take screenshot"

    Unfortunately, it's not listed in the advanced mode's right click menu, but it's there, and it works!

    Actually if you go into your xml file for configuring the desktop, the snapshot programme is in there. You just have to edit the line to get rid of the ! and --- in the same way as for skype/vlc adding icons to the desktop and up it comes. OK ignore that....whilst you can get it on your desktop, you can't keep the window open above other applictions to get the screenshot!

    Actually there are quite a few programmes there, with ! --- , which can easily be added to your home screen by editing out the ! and the --- e.g. a dictionary


    Oh and for some reasons the snapshot programme is in the work tab, but of course you can cut and paste the sequence into whichever tab you want

    As you guys have seen I've had no problems with this from day one and haven't had to edit anything...only thing I edited period was just to get the advanced features unlocked. But for me the screenshots via PrtSc button have been cake..see the wallpaper thread.

    I use that:

    1- Righ click on Desktop -> Configuration -> Configuration Manager.
    2-Desktop -> Behavior -> Edit Menu
    3-Add entry (+) where you want to place your launcher.
    4-Name: "Captura Pantalla" (enlish: "Take a screenshoot")
    Command: import -window root Pictures/screenshot1.jpg
    Icon: (I selected photo camera from icons)

    Voilá!
