How To Add To Ksnapshot "the .gif Format"

I'm very comfortable using KSnapshot, I remember when I used this application on SLED 10 it was the ability to save the captures in gif format.

Do you know how can I include this 'addon' to the current program installed on openSUSE 10.3 ?? It is highly useful to me, as I need to capture lots of screenshots and I prefer to save them as gif format to document them later, specilly since gif pictures are smaller in size and the text is shown more clear than save them in .png or worst in .jpg

TIA!
