In other threads, I've also indicated a preference for the Gnomeprint
menu. The branding is good. Plus I happen to think it'd look cool. :)

As to the screenplay/grabbing stuff, this isn't my idea. Someone else
suggested it; all I am saying is that if (as was suggested before)
this stuff _is_ to be Gnome-wide, this would be the appropriate place
for it to go. Whether or not Gnome even needs it, someone else can
worry about. :)
