I like that.  It's easy, and it doesn't depend on me remembering any 
obscure commands months later when the need to identify a package 
happens again.

I tried it in the case of the menu entry "Screenshot", and it yielded a 
lot of packages, almost all of which are not installed. The installed 
packages found by that search were:

gnome-mplayer
gnome-screenshot
x11-apps

Among this short list, it was easy to find the one I was looking for 
(gnome-screenshot).

Thanks!  That is the method I will use in the future, along with 
displaying the properties of the menu entry.

Regardless what method I choose to use, I am amazed at the variety of 
solutions to this problem offered by so many people on this e-mail list, 
and the clever ways people have used to solve this problem.

Many thanks to all of you who have offered solutions!
