Can't assign "Alt+Print Screen" shortcut to "take a screenshot of a window"

[klerfayt]

Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

It used to be possible to take a screenshot of an active window in Gnome by simply pressing "Alt+Print Screen". This no longer works (for me) in Maverick Meerkat. I have to reassign the shortcut to something else, e.g. "Ctrl+Print Screen" still works.

xev shows the following then Alt key is pressed:

KeyRelease event, serial 33, synthetic NO, window 0x4000001,
    root 0x15e, subw 0x0, time 44758237, (570,132), root:(571,176),
    state 0x8, keycode 64 (keysym 0xffe9, Alt_L), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XFilterEvent returns: False
