I experimented a bit, and alt-prtscrn and shft-prtscrn do save a file to 
~/Pictures. ctrl-prtsrn does not. That's what I was using when reported 
having a problem. I still have no idea where that goes, but it's okay.

gnome-screenshot does save to ~/Pictures, and using -i does 
interactively prompt you where to save.

Sometimes I just don't understand why the defaults that were chosen are 
used.

Thanks,
Alex
