Public bug reported:

I'm using the Unity desktop and since yesterday every time I take a
screenshot with gnome-screenshot, it crashes while taking it. Means, the
whole screen is white and doesn't fades out again. This problem is even
there if I only shoot an area of the screen. The flash just stays at the
area I've had marked before. But the save-dialog appers; although I
can't use it.  I've taken a screenshot of this problem using scrot, I
attached it.

That's really annoying, I can only close it with Alt+F4 or Ctrl-C. Is
this a known bug or am I doing something false? :D I also reinstalled
gnome-screenshot, but this didn't change anything.

Thanks in advance!
