Screenshots icon in Gnome 2.0 of Mandrake 9.0

[lawsonrc]

I have configured Gnome 2.0 in Mandrake 9.0 with no menu panel at the top. (The top menu panel contains Action -> Screenshots icon).

 

Instead, I have created an edge panel at the bottom where I've placed the Gnome menu along with various shortcut icons/launchers to programs.

This is similar to the default look of Gnome in Red Hat 8.0. The Gnome menu of Red Hat 8.0 contains the screenshot icon when you open it; however, this must not be a default since the Gnome menu that I added to the bottom panel does not.

 

How do I add this shortcut icon either to the panel or in the Gnome menu?

 

(NOTE: I'm aware that I can use the run command: gnome-panel-screenshot, but sometimes I'm lazy and just want to click on an icon to take the screenhot.)

 

Thanks!

you could just press the print screen button for screenshots.

you can make a file called screenshot.sh or something and put this command in it, then make a shortcut to it and give it a nice little icon:

 

# import -window root -display servername:0 myfile01.pcx

 

Haven't tested that, but found it in a google search. I know the command works from a terminal

rt-click the desktop and create a new Launcher>give it a name and enter the command>give it an icon if you want>drag it to the panel or drawer.

Thanks everybody!

 

Unfortunately, pressing the Print Screen button does absolutely nothing. :?

 

I appreciate the time you took for the research, exroller and appreciate you comments.

 

I found bvc's suggestion to the be handiest.

 

However, I wanted to add the "Camera" icon (like you see in the drop-down "Action" menu.) I Under properties I selected "Select Custom Icon..." and was surprised that it wasn't listed there since it is a default gnome icon. All the rest of the functional gnome icons are there, as well as many "nonfunctinal" ones (i.e. "useless, silly" onesl--even worse than the Coke can, but I'm trying to be nice by saying "nonfunctional"), but the Camera icon is missing.

 

It was not one of the icons in the list. I'm sure it's located somewhere. Is there an easy way to find it so that I can use it?

 

Thanks again for everyone's help!

 

Cheers,

try something like

 

sh-2.05b$ find /usr/share/pixmaps/ -name camera*

Just as a side note, if you use gkrellm, there is a plugin to take a screenshot.

Thanks, qnr.

 

I tried your suggestions, but with no success; however, you sent me on the right path.

 

This is what I did:

 

I right-clicked on the generic icon ->properties ->, then clicked on "Icon".

 

In the "Browse Icons" dialogue box, I clicked on Browsel...

 

I went to forward slash, then under Folders, clicked on /usr/, then /share/ , then /pixmaps.

 

I scrolled the files untils I found "gnome-screenshot.png".

 

Then clicked OK.

 

Well, guess what? The "gnome-screenshot.png" sent me back to the Browse icons, where you see the icons to choose from. I just now discovered that the icon *does* appear in the long list of icons. The camera is so small in the list of icons, I overlooked it.

(No longer a "spring chicken" and eyesight must be going he-he!)

 

Thanks for your help!
