Bug Description
Binary package hint: openbox
This was going on from Beta2 on (never tried Dapper before Beta2).
I'm running openbox instead of metacity with openbox --replace added to System>
I set up keyboard shortcut using System>
however, the shortcut for taking a screenshot does not work. In my laptop keyboard, it is set to "Print" in the menu, which physically translates into "Fn+Insert".
I confirmed that the shortcut works with metacity.
Anyone who wants to test this:
1. install openbox
2. run openbox with "openbox --replace" and don't close that terminal
3. Hit "printscreen" or whatever your shortcut is
4. Nothing happens...
5. Switch back to metacity with (in a separate terminal) "metacity --replace" and don't close that terminal
6. Hit "printscreen"
7. Screenshot is taken.
Workaround: in a terminal, use gnome-screenshot --delay=x (x being number of seconds to delay taking of screenshot). very handy when you need to take a screenshot of a menu.

It still does not work in Edgy, neither Alt-PrintScreen that is supposed to capture a window.
