Description of problem: When running Fedora 18 with the XFCE environment, hitting the Alt-PrintScreen key combination does not activate the "xfce4-screenshooter -w" command as specified in the keyboard shortcuts. However, if I set up Alt-F1 to perform this action, it works fine. I temporarily set up my own script in the shortcut for Alt-PrintScreen, and it wasn't even executed. When hitting Alt-PrintScreen in a Terminal window, the cursor blinks, but that's it. I'm not certain the problem is in xfce4-screenshooter, but that's the best module I could think of for applying this bug report to. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xfce4-screenshooter-1.8.0-7.fc18.x86_64 xfwm4-4.10.0-5.fc18.x86_64 How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run Fedora 18 with XFCE. 2. Open a window of any sort & bring focus to it. 3. Hit Alt-PrintScreen Actual results: Nothing happens. Expected results: A pop-up window from xfce4-screenshooter, asking the user what to do with the captured screen data. Additional info:
Seems something changed in gtk2 again, Alt + some other key is now treated as Sys_Req. This means we need to adjust the patch we ship with libxfce4ui.
Hold on: It works for me with xfce4-screenshooter-1.8.0-7.fc18 and gtk2-2.24.16-1.fc18, but it does not work on the F18 live CD. What version of gtk2 do you have and what does grep screenshooter ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts.xml return? For me it returns "<Alt>Print", that's what we have in the package and that does not work in the live session. However I don't want to adjust this to Sys_Req now it it already works.
These are from my least-altered system. I had changed the shortcut to Alt-F1 or Alt-F3 on other systems just to make it function desirably. Output of "rpm -q gtk2": gtk2-2.24.16-1.fc18.i686 Output of "grep screenshooter ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts.xml": <property name="<Alt>Print" type="string" value="xfce4-screenshooter -w"/> <property name="Print" type="string" value="xfce4-screenshooter -f"/>
This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '18'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 18 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.

I'm still seeing this with Fedora 20, on four different systems. The PrintScreen key works. Alt-PrintScreen does nothing. I work around it on a Fedora 19 system by mapping Alt-<F1> to "xfce4-screenshooter -w". But Alt-PrintScreen is jinxed somehow.

It actually works now in Fedora 22. Thanks!
