Maybe I'm missing something, but the default on ksnapshot should be whole-desktop by default, then you can select individual window or region. The reason being that individual window captures accept a 'delay' input set by the user on the dialog and 'region' requires a user box-outline. That is not accessible when launched by default.

That was the entire purpose of setting

[PrtScr]='ksnapshot' Shift-[PrtScr]='ksnapshot --current'

Default behavior captures a snapshot of the screen, the alternate use captures the current window. What you are proposing is making 'ksnapshot -- current' the default behavior. At least for me, that somewhat defeats the purpose of the --current option for the alternate call.

Perhaps you are confusing a basic keyboard shortcut to capture the desktop to the clipboard versus actually launching Ksnapshot and manually changing the desired capture option. :)

I often take screen captures of windows rather than the entire desktop.

Regarding the preferred style for screen captures, I need to write those guidelines soon. We want all images in all handbooks to have the same consistent look. Yes, capturing images will require setting up a separate user account, theme, or a VM to ensure that consistency.

On ktorrent - it has always failed. The autofoo files are messed up and I'm no autofoo wizard. I think it will probably be an easy fix for a makefile/automake guru...

Refer to bug report 1465. I have to use the enable-closure configuration option. As i shared in the bug report, something changed after April 15 because I never had to use that option before I filed the bug report. I still can't build ktorrent without that option. I can't build with the additional handbook files with or without that option.
