I could get rid from the screen locking problem described above by setting "SELINUX=permissive" in /etc/selinux/config (was previously set to enforcing!)

Comment 2 Owen Taylor 2012-04-05 19:33:15 UTC
Works for me with current updates-testing packages (these keybindings are actually handled by gnome-settings-daemon)

Comment 3 Joachim Backes 2012-04-08 08:58:08 UTC
Only ctrl+alt+l now works as screen locker, but the screenshot (print key) does not work. It is correctly configured in the keyboard settings (within the shortcut parts), but if I press the print key, something happens on my screen, but no screenshot file icon appears on my desktop. The same with alt+print.

Comment 4 Owen Taylor 2012-04-09 14:49:51 UTC
Save location for screenshots is your Pictures/ folder, not Desktop/.

Comment 5 Joachim Backes 2012-04-09 15:45:42 UTC
Now I created a  ~/Pictures directory. But if pressing the print key (with or without alt), no popup dialog on the desktop appears for controlling the probably generated picture, and nothing is stored in the ~/Pictures directory.

Only if I use the /usr/bin/gnome-screenshot command explicitely, I'm able to generate screenshots and store them in some configurable directory.

Additionally, pressing the alt key outside a gnome session generates nothing in /var/run/gdm/greeter/ (where it was stored in the early F17 beginning!), and no popup menu appears.

Comment 6 Owen Taylor 2012-04-20 16:11:07 UTC
If you are running in a German local, the directory wouldn't be ~/Pictures it would be ~/Bilder or something like that. There's no popup dialog in GNOME 3.4, but you should get a sound and a screen flash.

I don't know what you mean by the Alt key comment.
