gnome-screenshot no longer works "standalone" (w/o running gnome). gnome-extra/gnome-utils-3.2.1 did the trick. ** (gnome-screenshot:32734): WARNING **: Unable to use GNOME Shell's builtin screenshot interface, resorting to fallback X11.

Those error messages should be non-fatal, check your ~/Pictures folder :) If you want to see a dialog window and control where screenshots are saved, run "gnome-screenshot --interactive".
I have now added a pkg_postinst message saying that screenshots are saved in ~/Pictures, and that gnome-screenshot defaults to non-interactive mode from the command line.
Thanks for the pkg_postinst message ;-)
++ for more random folder names, like Desktop, Downloads, Pictures, ...
