Ah yeah,

I just stick to the last translation pretty much (mostly in order to not
"destroy" recent translators' thoughts and work, so leaving "Desktop"
unchanged) and continued in the way I understood it (i.e. taking
pictures of the windows instead of the whole desktop with the
differentiation of the two components in the one string and a
generalization in the other one), but I completely agree on the proposed
translations with no special arguments against any of the more specific
proposals; so if you just send  an update of your version to the
current, new svn, Christian?

Additional ideas are "Bildschirm aufnehmen", "Aufnahme des Bildschirms
machen", "Bildschirmfoto machen"; and anything is better than just
"Bildschirmfoto" (which wasn't necessarily a wrong translation but a
former translation of sth. else). Also, the plural form might be nice.

Anyway, when it comes to transforming "thingy tool" to "do things" when
translating, the msgstr actually might have to be changed as has been
recognized fot lots of the Xfce core components' strings as well -- so
you might want to talk to Jérôme about that as well? Also, "of the
active windows" seems to be wrong, it just takes one picture of the only
active window on my machine here.

Btw., I would then decleare the screenshooter plugin as "revised" for
the revision process with three agreeing minds  ;)

Good night
