Affects: gnome-utils (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
In the "Taking Screenshots" help, this information is provided:

Use shortcut keys

To take a screenshot, use the following shortcut keys:
Default Shortcut Keys 	Function
Print Screen 	Takes a screenshot of the entire screen.
Alt+Print Screen 	Takes a screenshot of the window to which the mouse points.

You can use the Keyboard Shortcuts preference tool to modify the default
shortcut keys.

Print Screen is not "Print Screen", by default.  By default, it is <Alt> Print Screen.  There is no way to select "Print Screen" to print screen.  If you attempt to assign Print to print screen in keyboard shortcuts, this error will be displayed:
The shortcut "Print" cannot be used because it will become unusable to type using this key.
Please try with a key such as Control, Alt or Shift at the same time.

Also, take screenshot of window by default is disabled.  The
documentation and functionality of keyboard shortcuts must be adjusted
to fit with one another.
