Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-utils

ii gnome-utils 2.20.0.1-0ubuntu1 GNOME desktop utilities
on ubuntu 7.10 gutsy:

Steps:

1) Press PrtScr/SysRq on the keyboard to start gnome-screenshot.
2) Under "name" enter the name of an existing file in the selected directory.
3) Press the confirm/"save" button.
4) You are asked if you want to overwrite the existing file.
5) You don't want that, so you click "Cancel" (there is only "Cancel" and "Replace")

Expected:
gnome-screenshot drops back to the first window and lets me chose a new name for the screenshot to save.

Actual result:
gnome-screenshot completely closes down.

Why this should not happen:
Sometimes, screenshots of a certain occurence can only be made once and not reproduced. So unwanted discarding of the made screenshot before saving should be avoided.

This bug should be made much higher priority than low, as for me it resulted in data loss - the screenshot I had taken was not retrievable, and I couldn't take it again since the window contents had changed.
