When I click on the "PrintScreen" button, OpenBox gives me an error:

Could not execute child process "gnome-screenshot"

Having rummaged in Google, I found several articles where I wrote to reassign the "PrintScreen" key from the "gnome-screenshot" command to something different.

In the /etc/xdg/openbox/rc.xml , ~/.config/openbox/lxde-rc.xml and ~/.config/openbox/lxde-rc.xml.save I reassigned the keys to the "xfce4-screenshooter" command "but the error still remained!

How to fix it?

I have Debian 8 Jessit + LXDE

    which xfce4-screenshooter , which gnome-screenshot ? If these programs are not available, then it is not surprising. - PinkTux

Install the necessary screenshot? In general, for lxde, the native screenshot is scrot, and it works great in the openbox. (Do not forget to put it)
