No Print Screen in Gnome

I installed Gnome on Arch64 and noticed when I attempted to take a screenshot which normally I did in Ubuntu, nothing happened. I did not install gnome-extra but simply gnome so I was wondering if anyone can tell me what I am missing to get the 'printscreen' key to take a screenshot on my new Arch64 system and Gnome 2.24.

Thanks so much!

Re: No Print Screen in Gnome

gnome-screenshot is in gnome-utils, which is in the gnome-extra group.
When installing the plain gnome group, you'll get a basic desktop with no optional applications, so you might consider adding a selection of packages from the -extra group.

Re: No Print Screen in Gnome

It's provided by the gnome-utils package.

EDIT: oops, I was too slow
