Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-utils

this bug has been reported (by other people) upstream, and i've supplied a patch upstream but, as you can see from some of the other outstanding gnome-screenshot bugs, the maintainer's effectively dead and patches aren't getting applied. i asked jono bacon what i should do when he came to give a talk at google the other week, and he said to raise a bug in Ubuntu itself, so that's what i'm doing here.

the original bug (with my patch) is:

  http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=434580

basically, gnome-screenshot doesn't save all the settings it should, and a bug prevents it from saving the others.

this bug has been around for a long time, but it's certainly still in gnome-utils 2.20.0.1-0ubuntu1 on Ubuntu 7.10.
