I'm more concerned about the migration path from KSnapshot to Spectacle. Can we make a hard decision to abandon KSnapshot on X11 and have Spectacle install a ksnapshot symlink for a grace period? Yes it means a file conflict with a ksnapshot package, but that's the "hard decision" part. And if Spectacle is launched through the symlink it should throw up an info type KMessageWidget with explanation. > What about moving KSnapshot to Extragear? > > Cheers, > Boudhayan Gupta Cheers, Eike
