Bug Description

When I press the screenshot key ("Print") in the GNOME Shell I get a lovely sound and an animation, but no file is saved anywhere.

Bug can be reproduced by typing "gnome-screenshot" into the terminal or pressing the "Print" key.

Btw: "gnome-screenshot --interactive" works fine.

In GNOME Shell, gnome-screenshot by default doesn't ask you where you want your screenshot saved, but just sticks them in the Pictures folder with an automatic name. This is a GNOME design decision, which was overridden for Unity.
