Can you give me the Fluxbox menu syntax to keep the fluxbox menu open when taking a screenshot?

I just made an entry in my keys file to do an import when I do an ALT + Print Screen I'm not at my Linux box now, or I'd submit the file so you could review it.

Use the GIMP to take the screenshot. or scrot with a delay. Or any other screenshot app that lets you build in a delay.

Set it to take in 5 seconds, open your menu and make it look nice, et voila!

My ~/.fluxbox/keys files is here:

Mod1 Tab :NextWindow
Mod1 Shift Tab :PrevWindow
Mod1 F1 :Workspace 1
Mod1 F2 :Workspace 2
Mod1 F3 :Workspace 3
Mod1 F4 :Workspace 4
Mod1 F5 :Workspace 5
Mod1 F6 :Workspace 6
Mod1 F7 :Workspace 7
Mod1 F8 :Workspace 8
Mod1 F9 :Workspace 9
Mod1 F10 :Workspace 10
Mod1 F11 :Workspace 11
Mod1 F12 :Workspace 12
Mod1 Print :Exec import -window root ~/print.png
Mod4 k :Exec xterm
Mod4 r :Exec fbrun
Mod4 l :Exec xscreensaver-command -lock
Mod4 d :ToggleDecor
Mod4 Print :Exec import ~/print.png

ALT+Print gets an image of the whole desktop. Win+Print allows me to select a reigon (window) for me to capture. Adding those lines to your keys file will enable you to make quick dumps of a screen or selection area to a file (no need to wait for GIMP to start) ;)

Somehow I lost my gnome-screenshot ability so I had to make a perl script to do it for me.  I like learning perl.

Me too. In fact, I just wrote a perl script which takes any plain text config file or source code file, and creates a syntax-highlighted html file out of it, using any gvim colorscheme you select. Check it out here.
