[Launchpad Bug Tracker <1308985@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I wanted to take a screen-shot of my desktop while the application
switcher (Alt+Tab) is opened.

Obviously, tapping the "Prt Sc" key would not work, (Most likely because
I have to keep the "Alt" key pressed, to keep the the Application
Switcher visible).So I used the gnome-screenshot app.

This is what I did, and steps to reproduce the problem.

- Kept the default selection ("Grab the whole screen), and set a delay of 3 seconds.
- Press take screenshot
- Press Alt-Tab and keep the Alt button pressed while waiting for the screenshot to be taken
- I might be wrong here but this bug only happens when the activated window after taking the screenshot is maximized.
- When the screenshot is taken, the window will appear which shows the screenshot.
- Release the Alt key.
- At this point, Unity will be somewhat broken.
* Pressing the Super key will no longer show the dashboard.
* Pressing Alt-Tab doesn't show the Application switcher.

To fix it, I keep middle clicking with the mouse on the top bar to bring the current window to the background. Until I reach the Screenshot.
After I close it, everything is turned back to normal.

I'm not sure if this is a bug in Unity or in Gnome Screenshot, but since
it only occurs with me while using the gnome-screenshot package, I filed
the bug here.
