I am trying to take a screenshot of a selected area. The Wiki here:

says I can use "take screenshot" from the menu. On my menu I have
"screenshot" but it doesn't work (although I think it used to) it just
displays a tiny box which I cannot make larger.

Assuming the command line is:

gnome-screenshot -a -d 20

I tried this but the mouse pointer immediately changes to a cross and I
cannot change tasks, so all I can do is photo the terminal window.

I think something is broken. Maybe there is another utility?

I prefer ksnip (QT-based) for such things, very good. Have a lot of options and settings.

For "moving" screenhots/demos there is also peek which is fairly ok as well. :)
