just kill the PrtScreen button, no one uses it anyway... seriously, i
don't think enabling the print screen button will help the faq getting
any shorter (except that we will be able to simplify the faq entry for
screenshots)... Over the years I've told a lot of users they can use
the PrtScreen button on that other operating system... they didn't
know ;) no one even remembers that old thing there on the left upper
corner of the keyboard... it's out of reach i guess ;) (maybe our
fingers got shorter due to darwin)
anyway... i guess that makes me agree with brian. If anything, the
screenshooter plugin should provide the printscreen button
capturing...
And making the screenshooter plugin installed and enabled by default
is a distro's job... not one for xfce
