Try KSnapshot. It's in 8.2 and I think I recall it being in 8.0. Good luck. Gil

I don't know about kde, this is just a more general solution. There are 2 well known utilities to capture windows in X. The 2 I'm most familiar with are: import (from ImageMajick) and xwd read "man xwd" Both of these when run will turn the mouse cursor to a crossahairs, which you then click on the desired window. Click on the desktop for whole screenshot. Then you will hear a beep, and the file is saved. To connect these commands to the Print Screen button, the only thing I've seen is xbindkeys http://hocwp.free.fr/xbindkeys/xbindkeys.html -- I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth.

If you have ImageMagick installed open a console window and write: import . Then move your mouse over the window you like to save and click the left mouse. 2 bips indicates it has been succeeded. If its a total screenshot: import -window root Then 2 bips sounds, and the screenshot has been saved. -- Food is an important part of a balanced diet. ---------------------------------------------------------------- SuSE 8.2 - KDE 3.1.3
