Sorry, it won't help at all. Nothing - and I mean nothing - is started
right after I push PrintScreen key. No flash, no sound.
GnomeScreenshot is working from command line.

And I ran xdg-user-dirs-update after starting my first gnome session.

It is like the key is dead. But it is not a keyboard problem, same
thing happens with another keyboard.

Thanks anyway.
