Easy to take screenshots of the full Desktop, only the active window or just an area. In area mode your cursor turns into a crosshair ant u have to mark the area you want to take a acreen of.

Above picture i used alt+print, for the following i used shift+print, so you see its just an area:

The "-" implicates that it is a login shell. At example you need the login shell to use all your own variables. If you just change user etc. without it, it may happen that - at example - you don't have permissions to geht dconf work because of some variables still got owned by the previous user.
