Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-utils
I took a desktop screenshot today, and it ended up being 15 megabytes.
This seemed rather large, so I opened it up in Gimp and then saved it
with default settings (ie, compression level 9). It reduced down to 2.1
megabytes.
This is a huge savings, and compressing these shouldn't be difficult or
expensive in terms of time or cpu usage. We could, for instance, run pngcrush
on every screenshot after saving.
** Affects: gnome-utils (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New

Screenshots are not compressed very well
