Hey, I'm a Gnome kinda of guy. Do an apt-get -s install ksnapshot. If
you don't like what you see, then nothing gets installed.

If you don't mind what else gets installed, do it again without the '-s' part.

I much prefer Gnome apps, but I feel that a screen shooter that won't
do user-defined regions is useless to me.

If Ksnapshot needs a few extra KDE things to run, then this is to be
expected. It's not like a disease, or something.

Bottom line is it's your system. If you think ksnapshot would work for
you, great! If not, then stick with what does.

Best to all!

David
