I'm more concerned about the migration path from KSnapshot
to Spectacle. Can we make a hard decision to abandon
KSnapshot on X11 and have Spectacle install a ksnapshot
symlink for a grace period? Yes it means a file conflict
with a ksnapshot package, but that's the "hard decision"
part. And if Spectacle is launched through the symlink it
should throw up an info type KMessageWidget with explanation.
