** Description changed:

  This is new since I upgraded to 14.10, about 60 hours ago. Tested
  through four sessions. Not  affected by any action in destination folder
  (eg, deleting any existing screenshot files there). Not affected by
  whether screenshot application or print screen button is used; not
  affected by whether screenshot is whole screen, desktop or selected
  area. The whole screen of the first attempt of the session is saved
  somewhere (I don't know where), and cannot be overwritten for the rest
  of the session, so new screenshots cannot be made without restarting. If
  I attempt a selected area of a new screen, I get the corresponding
  selected area of the first screen of the session, the one which cannot
  be overwritten. So - the screenshot application is working correctly,
  except that the first screen saved is being retained throughout the
  session and cannot be overwritten. And this is completely new since my
  upgrade to 14.10.
  
  PS: I have tried the application "Shutter", which performs all
  screenshot functions in a more elaborate way, and I get the same result,
  therefore both the basic "gnome-screenshot" and "Shutter" use the same,
  so to say, image scratchpad to store their screenshots, and for both of
  them, once written to, this image scratchpad cannot be cleared for new
  images for the duration of the session thereafter.
+ 
+ PPS: I see this is comparable to bug #1103847. I do have fglrx, just as
+ in that bug situation. But I am not getting an error report in the
+ terminal, as is reported there.
