g15daemon dumps screenshots without being asked

[generica]

Binary package hint: g15daemon

Using g15daemon 1.9.5.3-3 on Ubuntu 9.04

I noticed my /tmp filling up with g15daemon-sc-*.pbm files, so investigated the cause. Allegedly these are dumped on request when M1+M3 are pressed together, however it seems these are happening without being requested. Even since opening this bug, 5 new screenshot has been dumped in there, and I haven't gone near the M keys.

Happy to debug further on request.

IMO pressing M1+M3 is "asking" for screen shots (like the print screen key).

But I agree that a configuration option should allow disabling the M1+M3 keys. I'll investigate this.

Note that newer Debian revisions create the file in a more safe (and stable) manner.

More debug is need to discover what key sequence caused the screenshots. BTW what keyboard do you have?

Last night between 11:15pm and 7:00am, my computer was idle, and yet 24 screenshots were made, at irregular intervals.

After an upgrade to Karmic, same g15daemon version, this appears to not happen anymore.
