Binary package hint: gnome-utils

In Ubuntu Karmic, taking a screenshot of an app like that has fullscreen
mode like MPlayer or Firefox cannot be done. The prompt to save the
image does not appear until after fullscreen mode has been exited.
Because of this, the resulting screencap may include undesired graphical
elemnts.

Furthermore, the screenshots will ALWAYS show the cursor, even if it
disappeared due to inactivity, unless tricky split-second commands are
done to exit fullscreen and save the image.

In Jaunty, fullscreen screenshots worked fine and the prompt would
appear.
