Gnome-sessions - not working?

Question

hey,
i've migrated to gnome 2.6 and hoped that the gnome-sessions are going to work right now - but they seem not to work. did i do something wrong or is that a fact? is there any chance to get this implemented  and working? this is such a nice feature... (used to have it from KDEmod)
thanks and cheers,
hubutz

triplesquarednine,
You are correct. I looked again and there are multiple exec lines and I was reading the wrong one. The one I read from /usr/share/applications/gnome-screenshot.desktop:
Exec=gnome-screenshot -w
TargetEnvironment=Unity
But for gnome:
Exec=gnome-screenshot --interactive
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Icon=applets-screenshooter
StartupNotify=true
Yeah, that's kinda what i figured. it threw me off at first too.

nice tip. i missed that one. very good to know.

If you want it back to the way it was, it is easy. Open the system preferences. Click Keyboard. Click shortcuts tab. Click custom shortcuts. Click the plus sign. Give a name. Enter the command gnome-screenshot --interactive. Apply. Click where it says "disabled" to assign a new accelerator. Press Print Scrn key on keyboard. Accept the warning and let it reassign.
I like they way it is too;
press printscreen button and it takes a fullscreenshot, use ALT with printscreen and it takes a window scrrenshot. No interaction and saves images to /home/ninez/Pictures./screenshots.... then beyond that i use deepin-screenshot for more advanced functionality ~ such as saving to clipboard (to paste in gimp), or to do add notes / drawing to the screenshot before saving to disk.  ~ this kinda thing is handy for bug reporting. you can quickly hightlight an area / draw box / text, directly after taking a screenshot. very handy. (i also setup deepin-screenshot with it's own keystroke (or gesture on my machine).
