Bug Description

Screenshot destination folder now defaults to Pictures, was previously user-selectable in Screenshot GUI. I realise this probably reflects a conscious decision rather than an unintentional omission: someone just said to themselves: "The user may previously have been able to select the destination folder for Screenshots, but now I shall discontinue that option, because I can't be bothered to include it." Someone on AskUbuntu com <a href="http://askubuntu.com/questions/114429/default-save-directory-for-gnome-screenshot">timidly asks</a>: "Is this a bug?" As far as I'm concerned it is, and you ought to restore the user option to select the destination folder. I shall take this opportunity to remind you that a month ago I <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird/+bug/1208719">reported another lost function</a>, namely the progress bar across the Thunderbird launcher indicating unread mail, and no-one has even bothered to notice this report, assess it, or allocate it to a bug category. That report itself was a follow-up to a previous bug fix that purported to restore the lost function but failed to do so. Hopefully these facts speak for themselves, so I shall refrain from making disparaging remarks about them.

Hey, the option's reappeared now. There was a kernel update with associated tweaks & twiddles today, maybe that fixed it. Or maybe the option was there all along and I somehow missed it. So this bug can be written off as fixed, if it existed in the first place. But I would still like to see some response to my <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird/+bug/1208719">previous bug report</a>, hopefully including an intention to finally restore the progress bar for unread mail across the Thunderbird launcher, because this is a major asset of convenience, being visible from across the room, unlike other forms of email alert.
