[Bug 379382] Re: gnome-screenshot (Alt-Printscreen) black/blanks out top of windows in multi monitor xinerama

 

Here is an oneiric debdiff.  It would be very nice if attribution to my
work survived intact and wasn't butchered as in 3.1.5-0ubuntu2 just
because I'm not one of the "in-crowd" with a @ubuntu address

** Patch added: "debdiff for oneiric"

Title:
  gnome-screenshot (Alt-Printscreen) black/blanks out top of windows in
  multi monitor xinerama

Status in gnome-utils - GNOME Desktop Utilities:
  Fix Released
Status in “gnome-utils” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  I have Ubuntu 9.04 configured in a multi-monitor Xinerama setup of a
  centre monitor 1600x1200 and two smaller monitors 1280x1024 on either
  side i.e. different resolutions across the screens.

  In Ubuntu 9.04 gnome-screenshot now black/blanks-out the top 210
  pixels of any screenshot I take of an individual window (i.e. Alt-
  Printscreen) regardless of which monitor I take it on. The number of
  pixels blanked out seems dependent on the difference in the y-offset
  across the screens as configured in xorg.conf. Taking a screenshot of
  the whole desktop works properly. The problem did not occur at all in
  Ubuntu 8.10.

  Here's the relevant extract from my xorg.conf:
  Section "ServerLayout"
  	Identifier     "Layout0"
  	Screen      0  "ScreenCentre" 1280 0
  	Screen      1  "ScreenLeft" 0 210
  	Screen      2  "ScreenRight" 2880 210
  	Option         "Xinerama" "On"
  EndSection

  Note that the left and right monitors are slightly lower on my desk
  than the centre monitor so I've set their y-offsets in xorg.conf to
  210 pixels (from what otherwise should be 1200-1024=176 pixels) so
  that when I drag windows between monitors the widows appear at the
  same level.

  I'll attach a screenshot of the whole desktop to illustrate the xorg
  offsets, and screenshots of individual windows which illustrate the
  problem.
