We have all fiddled with multiple screenshot applications for many years and through many distros.
To me, the have all worked "as stated" but almost always had some "quirk", usually a consequence of very tight coding, such as the app might just disappear after a use, because the assumption on the part of the developers was that the end user was a "Linux guy" and would ipso posto facto and factotum, be working from CLI and could recall it with a few keystrokes, the emphasis being on small footpring and speed.
Hoever, times have changed.
Shutter, in my opinion, is just about THE best choice I have seen for a screenshot app in terms of the "modern user".
a) it provides a nicely recognizable panel icon if the person wants to keep it running.
b) the panel icon provides a very convenient right click menu so that one does not have to "go to the app in the panel". As an example, I "often" take multiple "selections" of a very long page, I can right click the icon, mouse up, left click "selection" the screen goes semi-transluscent black, I can select, and there is a floating box at the top left that is responding to what I do in terms of providing size, etc. then there is a "grab hand" and when double clicked the selection appears and then can be saved and / or printed.
c) The "dialogue box" maintains the different selctions so that one can go back and reconsider a previously taken selection, etc.
d) it interacts with the print dialogue command well.
e) there are a lot of other features about which I do not need to elaborate. Here is the website:
http://shutter-project.org/
All in all, whoever on the Kubuntu development team advocated for Shutter did a great job and I would highly recommend it's retention in future releases.
just my thoughts and others may disagree.
