Hm…

How do you change this?

I used to have this:

$ gsettings get org.gnome.gnome-screenshot auto-save-directory
''

When I pressed <Print Screen>, a screenshot was saved in my
~/Bilder directory.

Now I to change the setting:

$ gsettings set org.gnome.gnome-screenshot auto-save-directory 
~/Dropbox/Photos/Screenshots/
$ gsettings get org.gnome.gnome-screenshot auto-save-directory
'/home/a.sk/Dropbox/Photos/Screenshots/'

However, when I now press <Print Screen>, the file still gets
created in ~/Bilder and not in /home/a.sk/Dropbox/Photos/Screenshots/
as I would've expected.

Ubuntu 12.04 Gnome Shell (not Unity)
