Run GScrot on Xubuntu

Asked by zFran

I can run it, but i can't bind a key to take screenshots. GScrot should have an argument for taking screenshots directly, allowing to use it without problem outside of Gnome.

The parameters are already existing but are not documented because there are currently just used for metacity keybindings:

gscrot --window (starts gscrot in selection mode, naming a bit confusing, i know)
gscrot --full (starts gscrot and takes a full screen screenshot directly)

Do you know how to set up xfwm4 keybindings? Maybe we should integrate the setup for xubuntu in GScrot, too.

I think it should be something like this in the future (I'll turn this into a bug report later):

gscrot --selection (starts gscrot in selection mode)
gscrot --window (starts gscrot in window selection mode)
gscrot --active (starts gscrot and takes screenshot of active window)
gscrot --full (starts gscrot and takes a full screen screenshot directly)
