In Ubuntu 12.10 (using the Unity desktop) you can typically perform a screenshot by pressing the "Print Screen" button on you keyboard. This launches gnome-screenshot, and you are given a dialog allowing you to save that screenshot to a file system location.
However, this does not work if you have activated a context-menu of an indicator/applet by the clock. I'm specifically trying to take a screenshot that showcases the contents of the network-manager's context menu for another bug ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source /network-manager/+bug/1078662 ). However, while that context menu is displayed, the "Print Screen" button doesn't launch gnome-screenshot. Another example would be if you wanted to take a screenshot of your desktop with the clock's calendar showcased. To reproduce: 1) Click on the clock (to display its calendar) 2) Hit the "Print Screen" button 3) Nothing happens ( gnome-screenshot is not launched as expected).
