	Well, I found dconf-editor, which is a GUI for gsettings; and I tried 
to set the auto-save directory to something else. But it still saves in 
the Pictures folders.
	One bit online, from someone else workign with somethign like this, 
asked about what ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs has set for XDG_PICTURES_DIR. 
On mine, it's my Pictures folder where the screenshots are saved.
	All of the bits I'm finding about gnome-screenshot says it's supposed 
to ask for a location, but it just ain't happening. The sam eoccurs on 
my other 12.04 machine as well...
Anyone?
