Description:

If I take a screenshot with `gnome-screenshot` (and no arguments), no screenshot is saved to ~/Pictures. It has the same behavior when I run gnome-screenshot by pressing the print screen key in Gnome 3. The screenshot isn't saved to the clipboard either.


Additional info:
* 3.4.1-1


Steps to reproduce:

In Gnome 3, open a terminal, then run `gnome-screenshot` (or, alternatively, press the print screen key).

Expected behavior: a screenshot appears in ~/Pictures.
Actual behavior: no new file is created (or it's created somewhere else and I can't find it).


Workaround:

In dconf-editor, change org.gnome.gnome-screenshot.auto-save-directory and org.gnome.gnome-screenshot.last-save-directory to file:///home/[username]/Pictures.

Ionut: I have xdg-user-dirs-gtk installed.
Matthias: I update daily.

then it should work fine. Try adding a new user into your system and see if is working there.
if is working, then is a missconfiguration into your current user.

You're right, it worked when I made a new user. Sorry for the bogus bug report.

I meant xdg-user-dirs-gtk which is outdated in our repos. Version 0.9 already available.
