        Which tool is it?  There is nothing in the Accessories menu in

    Lars:

    This seems to be a weakness of our repositories, in that it is (at
    least with my level of expertise) an often very difficult task, to
    take an application you are using, and determine the package name
    it comes from.

    Before sending the e-mail, I attempted to identify the package,
    but was unable to determine it.

    The help about information ought to supply it, but in this case,
    it was no help.

Worry not.

Open Task Manager: Menu > System > Task Manager

Open that Screenshot application

See the new entry on Task Manager

OR:
Before you click to open it, what is the name of the entry on your menu for that app???

Ali, and all:

Thank you very much for the tip.

The entry in menu of the app is "Screenshot", so that is no help.

But the other way, looking in task manager actually disclosed its 'secret' name.

I had to sort the entries by "Command", but when I did that, and carefully searched through the long list, the only entry that suggested it might be connected with taking a screenshot, was called:

gnome-screenshot

I looked up that package in Synaptic Package Manager, and found it to be installed.

So this method does allow you to find out the 'secret' name of the package an application comes from.
