There is already a ticket requesting for a screenshot sound effect. As
soon as I get sound working on my machine I might take a look at that.
On the other hand, the new screenshot way will be that the GUI will be
shown when you press the PrtScrn key, and only when using it with a
modifier key it will not pop up, assuming that a user knows what he is
doing, so it is a lot less confusing (I hope).

I also think a countdown like KDE's KSnapshot has would be a nice
feature when a delay is used.
