You can use Shutter. It has all the options to customize screenshots...really a great piece of software.

You can just press the PrtSc key on your keyboard and it'll show up on your Desktop. Shutter offers more features if you need.

I have no use (until now) for the Pictures folder. But I like to tinker, so when I read your post I tried something.

Renamed the Pictures folder to something else. Made a link to Desktop and renamed it Pictures. When I used gnome-screenshot, the image shows up on my Desktop.

If you use the Pictures folder for other things this probably won't be a good solution, but if it otherwise remains empty it is a pretty easy solution if you intend to keep using gnome-screenshot or PrtSc

Just in case anyone wonders, in Ubuntu 12.04 Spanish version, PrintScreen shots are save in the "Imágenes" folder.
This screenshot folder is a good idea, but it should at least warn you where the files are being stored.
