GNOME Flashback is compatible with GNOME Shell: it implements the
org.gnome.Shell.Screenshot D-Bus interface, and gnome-settings-daemon can
use it. So no objections from me _here_.

However, I still find gnome-screenshot very useful: it allows one to set
timeout before screenshot, include/exclude window border, set an effect,
and also has an --interactive mode: much more than what one can achieve
with bare gnome-settings-daemon keybindings.

Also, according to a recent upstream commit [1], they still consider
gnome-screenshot a compulsory part of GNOME. Shall we really drop it?
