Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-utils

Prior to Maverick pressing Alt-Prtscr results in gnome-screenshot appearing after having taken a shot of the current window. This no longer happens after upgrading to Maverick.

* Pressing just PrtScr by itself does work grabbing the whole desktop
* Running gnome-screenshot and telling it to select the focussed window works too
* Keyboard shortcuts lists "Print" to "Take a screenshot" and "Alt+Print" to "Take a screenshot of a window" (I never changed these)

It is just the Alt combination that doesn't work.
