Buggy utility
It should be noted that this utility doesn't work properly and never has. It can capture the entire screen when the &lt; &gt; key is pressed, but is utterly incapable of capturing the current window properly when &lt; &gt;&thinsp;+&thinsp;&lt; &gt; are pressed. In order to capture the current window, one is forced to use GIMP's built-in screen capture ( File > Create > Screenshot... ), or capture the entire screen and then crop to the desired window with a graphic editor such as GIMP. One can also resort to the interactive mode of gnome-screenshot and select the area of the screen one wants to capture using the "Select area to grab" option, a slow and inaccurate process, at best. &mdash; QuicksilverT @ 21:58, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

Commandline Invocation
Could someone add a way to start this from the commandline? I am using XFCE right now but would like to use the gnome screenshot utility but don't know how; and the XFCE menu also does not have that entry. Thanks! 131.130.83.54 (talk) 14:16, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
