Title:
  gnome-screenshot fails (black image) and pegs CPU to 100%

Status in “gnome-utils” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I have a dual screen set up with slightly different resolutions, i.e.
  external screen is 1920x1200 and the laptop screen is 1920x1080.
  Taking pictures with the built-in screenshot tool results in a black
  image with just the mouse pointer showing.

  But what makes it a serious problem is that the gnome-screenshot stays
  resident (after Cancel) and pegs one CPU thread to 100%. After a few
  attempts of taking screen shots, the whole CPU was maxed out! (see
  attached system-monitor image)

  BTW, the screen shots were taken with shutter -- just in case anyone
  was wondering :)
