Ali, and all:

Thank you very much for the tip.

The entry in menu of the app is "Screenshot", so that is no help.

But the other way, looking in task manager actually disclosed its 
'secret' name.

I had to sort the entries by "Command", but when I did that, and 
carefully searched through the long list, the only entry that suggested 
it might be connected with taking a screenshot, was called:

gnome-screenshot

I looked up that package in Synaptic Package Manager, and found it to be 
installed.

So this method does allow you to find out the 'secret' name of the 
package an application comes from.
