I use an Ubuntu rig to QA products at work and I have to manually select "Select Area to Grab" every time I want to attach a screen. Been looking for a way to use a shortcut to do this.

Not invalid - fixed in bug https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=652489

Pushed to master in git in commit 4709c0e

Someone close this when it gets sent in off the matching 3.3.x release.

This bug was fixed in the package gnome-settings-daemon - 3.3.5-0ubuntu1

---------------
gnome-settings-daemon (3.3.5-0ubuntu1) precise; urgency=low

  * New upstream version (lp: #931656), refreshed patches,
    thanks Jeremy Bicha for starting the work on the new version:
    - change the sound level by device (lp: #340720)
    - correctly unassign keybindings (lp: #515670)
    - define keybinding to take a screenshot of a selection (lp: #625518)
    - resolve some segfaults (lp: #865286)
  * debian/control.in:
    - build-depends on libgudev-1.0-dev
    - breaks unity-greeter (<< 0.2.1-0ubuntu1) due to the wacom schema rename
    - build-depends on libwacom
    - updated gtk, gnome-desktop3, g-d-s, upower requirements
  * debian/gnome-settings-daemon.gsettings-override:
    - don't set deprecated "sleep-inactive-battery" key
  * debian/patches/90_set_gmenus_xsettings.patch:
    - refreshed, we don't handle gnome-shell xsettings yet because we still
      ship 3.2, that patch will need an update if we go for the new version
  * debian/patches/git_gsettings_write_only_when_required.patch;
    debian/patches/50_add_dell_backlight.patch:
    - dropped the fix is in the new version
  * debian/patches/47_delay_pa_connect_to_idle.patch:
    - commented, will need to be updated if still needed
  * debian/patches/revert_git_datetime_dropping.patch:
    - revert the datetime service dropping, ubuntu-system-service doesn't
      implement the timedated interfaces
  * debian/patches/revert_git_dropping_gconf_wrapper.patch:
    - revert the gconf code dropping, we might still need the settings
      gateway for the lts (though it's a bit hackish)
  * debian/patches/revert_git_use_gsetting_keybindings.patch:
    - revert the keybindings switch to gsettings, compiz is not ready,
      it's likely possible to update the patch to do either according to
      the session in use at runtime if somebody wants to work on that
  * debian/patches/revert_git_a11y_gsettings.patch:
    - similar to the previous one
  * debian/patches/revert_git_stop_using_gconf.patch:
    - don't stop using gconf, the other patches listed before need it
  * debian/rules:
    - don't use -Bsymbolic-functions to workaround upstream issues
    - drop deprecated --enable-pulse option
    - use --disable-systemd
  * debian/watch:
    - watch for .xz

       no profile selected (lp: #869603)
