Bug Description

Running Precise and the latest updates seems to have stopped the print screen key to function correctly. Pressing the print screen key you hear a 'click' noise but no image or dialogue is displayed or saved to where I can find them. The only way to get an print screen to work is to run it from the command line gnome-screenshot -i. This was working up to a few days ago

Actually does save, in ~/pictures, but no dialog like usual

so it does. This isn't intentional behaviour is it? This is far from discoverable, and what I generally want to do is paste the resulting image into GIMP or another application, not save the PNG particularly.
