I just had the misfortune to press Shift-{print screen} accidentally
while in a Gnome desktop, and the result was a completely unresponsive
system where the only recovery was a power switch initiated shutdown.
Further investigation shows the runaway creation of gnome-screenshot
processes.
System is CentOS 5.2 fully updated on an Intel i686.
Suggestions about what component should receive the bugzilla report
are welcome.
