Description JP Rosevear 2005-08-10 21:32:48 UTC

GNOME uses PrintScreen and Alt-Printscreen by default for take a screenshot and
a screenshot of a window.  The key isn't "seen" though until I take the steps
outlined in the bug in the symbols/pc file.

This was supposed to have been fixed upstream as well
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1238 in a different manner, but we
have the fix and I still see the issue.

Comment 1 Stefan Dirsch 2005-08-10 21:56:35 UTC

Right, we have the patch applied. What kind of steps outlined in the bug in 
symbols/pc file are you talking of? I cannot find them ...

Oops, its in the orginal ubuntu bug: http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1762

Ok. I think I understand now. We switched to xkeyboard-config for 10.0. Could  
you please check whether applying the patch above to /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/pc 
fixes the problem for you (/etc/X11/xkb/symbols/pc/* files no longer exist) ? 
Thanks.

Looks like this never has been fixed in xkeyboard-config. :-(
