hooks to use for development

[Alper KANAT <tunix raptiye org>]

Hello Everyone,

Maybe this is a very noob question for you. I'm a long time GNOME user and used to develop mostly web applications. I've tried several times to develop PyGTK applications but always didn't have the enough motivation and knowledge to continue. I'm not experienced in C and have no idea about C++.

What I want is to develop a seemles file sharing application that can hook to screenshot utility, that can add actions to Nautilus' right click menu. If I press Print Scr. button on my keyboard, GNOME's screenshot util starts and I want my code to run and upload the image to some hosted service right after it takes the screenshot.

I wonder if this is possible without having to interact with gnome-screenshots' code. I really want my GNOME desktop as competetive as a Mac OS X desktop. (I also plan to do the same for KDE if possible btw)

Thanks for your great work, I really appreciate it.
