Which is exactly what happened to me. I selectively installed what I thought I wanted based on previous experience... except the packaging was all scrambled from what I expected... result.. I am still finding apps I am missing and installing one by one from the SuSE8.1 disks.
THAT explains it...", it appears SuSE dropped ksnapshot in favor of pixie -- if you aren't "intimately familier" with the goings on of desktop screen capture [like me] you're probably not aware of pixie in the first place.

Oh... now after a month it makes sense. I have never used Pixie at home. I use it in KDE2 on my SUN workstation at work because it's the only graphics viewer I can get to work. I have only ever known it to do view functions... I had no idea it would do screen caps - I had to be told about it ;-) Hmmm wonder if the older version I use on the SUN will do screen caps.... Anyway... glad to see that my struggle a month ago actually provided some useful information. C.
