I am now up and working with print screen. Thanks to everyone for your responses and help. I was not using the official version of GTK provided with openSUSE 10.3, which is gtk2-2.12.0-5.4. I was told: If you don't absolutely need to upgrade to GNOME:STABLE, I'd suggest to stick to the version provided on the DVD/OSS repository + online updates. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
