Description Luca Gambetta 2010-04-16 13:25:53 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.4.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Archlinux Packages

First of all I'm translating the messages from Italian, so I don't know exactly where are the correct menu option or the correct naming.
Go to System Setting -> Desktop -> Application start cursor (the 5th icon, the one with the rocket).

When you do a screenshot with ksnapshot not already started and your busy cursor is set to other than "no busy cursor" in Desktop settings, the launch icon will appear in the resulting screenshot.

Try to place the cursor on a white place of the screen and take a screenshot pressing the PrintScr key to experience the problem.
