Change default 'Print Screen' save folder [duplicate]

Possible Duplicate:
Default save directory for gnome-screenshot?

The Print Screen window that appears when pressing the ImprPant button (at least, that's what it's called in my keyboard) has the "Save Folder" set to /home/myusername/ by default. I'd like to change that folder so that /home/myusername/Downloads/is the default, but there are no options available that I can see.

How can I do this?

    Install dconf-editor:

    sudo apt-get install dconf-editor

    Open it up and head to org --> gnome --> gnome-screenshot. Under auto-save-directory set the URI to your default directory:

    file:///path/to/directory
