It has been removed in 4.3.

Not sure if the V on the new update has the Small tools apps when you tap on the two overlapping squares to the right of the home icon - But if it does you can open it and there maybe like on the Z1 an icon thats looks like two mountains inside a square with entended corners - Tapping this also enables you to take screen shots

Why was this changed? What was wrong with having it readily available in the power-button menu?

Guys, seriously, who can press two buttons which are separated by 3 mm?
I tried with one finger and couldn't do it. The buttons are too separated to press both at the same time.
Two fingers is also almost imposible, I can't get near the buttons...

Although it's not an ideal combination, I can easily press both buttons and get a screenshot.

Maybe you need to get used to this as well...
