Ok, now that the upstream pushed it (and added another patch for gnome-
settings-daemon at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=740520 )
for 3.14, with a bit of luck it will percolate to Ubuntu Gnome in a
couple of years ;-).

My suggestion would be to simply ditch the thing and use shutter by
default.

Title:
  Default filename for screenshots is problematic

Status in Gnome Screenshot:
  Fix Released
Status in “gnome-screenshot” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Press "printscreen" and you'll get a default filename of:-

  "Screenshot from YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.png"

  Fine for browsing in nautilus and double clicking on, but this format
  (specifically the colons) has been a bane for me for some time.

  1. 
  Tab completion fails:-
  -rw-rw-r--   1 alan alan  751K Sep 23 01:10 Screenshot from 2012-09-23 01:10:33.png

  # tab completion works as far as here
  alan@deep-thought:~/Pictures$ scp Screenshot\ from\ 2012-09-2
  Screenshot\ from\ 2012-09-21\ 19\:40\:46.png 
  Screenshot\ from\ 2012-09-23\ 01\:01\:41.png 
  Screenshot\ from\ 2012-09-23\ 01\:10\:33.png 

  # get to here and it won't finish the filename off.
  alan@deep-thought:~/Pictures$ scp Screenshot\ from\ 2012-09-23\ 01\:

  2. scp fails.
  alan@deep-thought:~/Pictures$ scp Screenshot\ from\ 2012-09-23\ 01\:10\:33.png popey.com:
  ssh: Could not resolve hostname Screenshot from 2012-09-23 01: Name or service not known

  3. Ubuntu one file link in thunderbird fails
  See bug 1054803

  Whilst I can see an argument for fixing the bugs in all those other
  applications, wouldn't it make more sense to just not have mad
  filenames created in the first place.

  I propose:-

  "Screenshot_from_YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM-SS.png"
