I tried that too. PrtSc isn't configured on this laptop (a ThinkPad).

And, as I said, ksnapshot can't do it. When I set the delay and
push the cursor into the top left it doesn't change to the
'windows thumbnails' display. This may be because ksnapshot puts a
countdown timer up in that corner.

Maybe this helps: I just tried your trick with ksnapshot:
- configured 'PrtScn' key to start ksnapshot (works when in 'normal' KDE
mode)
- started ksnapshot that way and entered a delay of 3 seconds
- within that time I pressed ctrl-F10 (which switches to the 'window
overview mode' in my case)
- 'et voila' there was my printscreen, saved it and ready.

So the only diff is that you use the mouse. Therefor I guess you're
right assuming that it's the countdown timer that's messing things up.
Have you tried using a different screencorner?

Yup - that works. Ctrl-F10 - Thanks.

I'm new to KDE4 - just upgraded from 11.0/KDE3. The first time I got
this windows thumbnail effect I didn't know how I'd done it! I spent
ages looking in KDE documentation to try to find out. Then it happened
again - by acccident - and I figured it out. It's a really good
feature - I use it all the time for switching windows.

I expect there are other features I haven't found yet.

Yup and the features are coming
and going as we speak. I wish they would settle down and focus a bit more
on goals. And I read Apple's involved? That explains the gray windows and
the black and white icons in place of color.
Hopefully, KDE will be the
monster it should be when the major tweaking is over.

Have you noticed that whenever you quote somebody when
replying with Knode, all of the quoted text gets messed up?

Something to do with "flowed text" being ignored perhaps?
