xfce4-screenshooter is part of Xfce, in Fedora and also on the official
Fedora Xfce Spin. We have patched the default keyboard shortcuts to
support PRINT and ALT+PRINT out of the box.

No, it's included in xfwm4, but to enable it by default you would need
to patch the default configuration in the xfwm4 package or add a config
file for the user "liveuser".

Kevin and me invite you to join Fedora's Xfce SIG [1]. Our Xfce spin has
changed a lot recently [2] and every person with good ideas is welcome
to help.
