Ben Grande 425748ab9e fix: install screenshot dependencies
Provided in the default Dom0 installation as it brings a much better
usability and small packages.

KDE ships with kdialog but without a screenshot utility.
Xfce ships with xfce4-screenshooter but without a dialog utility.
Scrot and Zenity are minimal tools that works on both DEs and are very
small packages.
