Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-utils

1. Press Alt-PrintScreen
2. Type in a filename like "~/img/shots/screenshot.png" or "/tmp/screenshot.png"
3. Press Enter

Expected behaviour: The screenshot is saved in the desired location.

Actual behaviour: You get an error dialog saying (with horrible formatting issues)

"Impossible to save the screenshot to file:///home/mg/%2Ftmp%2Fscreenshot.png.
Error was Operation not supported
. Please choose another location and retry."

This used to work in Hardy, and now doesn't in Intrepid. GVFS migration's fault?
