Bug Description

I can't think of any reason why the screenshot program should be in the system
menu. I think it would be more appropriate in the applications menu under
accessoires or graphics, as that is I think the first place people would look
for it.

Can we just get rid of this. please; if "Run Application" is sufficient as a
shortcut (Alt-F2) then "Take Screenshot" should be sufficient as a shortcut
(Print) too.

While we're at it, can we also get rid of "About GNOME", "About Ubuntu" and
"Help" (which exists right next to the menu on the panel).

About Ubuntu is quite useful
About Gnome might be better placed in About Ubuntu

Why do you want to remove help? That merely makes it harder to find it.

Hello,

Same bug, even if i configure the keybinding, i'm not able to take a screenshot
of the desktop or of a single window with Print and Alt+Print. Is this a gnome
problem or a layou problem ?

Thanks.
