Description Igron 2007-10-21 23:45:40 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
gnome-screenshot is starting then you press "PrtScr" Button (by default in gnome).

So if you press down "PtrScr" within 5 seconds it can start several hundred times and "hang" you system.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Press down "PtrScr" (or you custom buttom for gnome-screenshot in gnome) within 5-10 seconds.


Actual results:
System hang, even fast modern PC.

Expected results:
I think this application must check if there one more 'gnome-screenshot' started.

Does this happen every time?
Yes.
