Auto save directory/last save directory both work for me if I call
gnome-screenshot or gnome-screenshot --interactive from an xterm, but
neither work when I press Print Screen. 'Screenshot of a window' and
'screenshot of an area' behave identically.

I worked around this issue by defining custom keyboard shortcuts to
'gnome-screenshot', 'gnome-screenshot -w', 'gnome-screenshot -a'. My
hunch is that the default shortcuts are passing '--file=$FILENAME' to
gnome-screenshot, after failing to define the filename properly (they
shouldn't pass --file to gnome-screenshot at all, imo), but I'm not sure
where to look to track down where this behavior is defined.

Title:
  [Ubuntu 12.04] gnome-screenshot forgets "last-save-directory"

Status in gnome-screenshot package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 12.04, Beta 2
  1) press [PrintScreen] to do a screenshot
  2) gnome-screenshot proposes to save it in "$HOME/pictures"
  3) change location to "$HOME/videos" or similiar and close gnome-screenshot
  4) press [PrintScreen] again and take another screenshot
  6) tool wants to save picture in "$HOME/pictures" again
  5) expected behaviour: proposes to save pic in "$HOME/videos"

  BTW: Setting a fixed path in dconf-editor entry "last-save-directory"
  doesn't change anything.
