[K12OSN] OT: Screen capture software

[David Hopkins]

Well, tried the suggestions and it seems that ksnapshot + Gimp will
work well.  The only issue is some weirdness with the teacher not
being able to retrieve a snapshot from the clipboard for
importing/pasting into Gimp. She gets a Qclipboard error with a stream
timeout.  It is just her account though as I tried several other
student accounts and guest accounts without issues. Go figure.  I'll
try resetting her .kde session tonight.

She also has decided she'd like to try recordmydesktop but I didn't
locate any rpm's for that, so it seems I need to compile from source
and will try that tonight. She did download and ask to have demorec
installed but it promptly crashed and actually crashed so hard it
killed her login session.  Haven't sorted out why that happened but
maybe it doesn't like being run in a thin client environment.

Thanks!
Dave Hopkins
