Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

(This is most likely an NVidia bug, I don't know of a better place to
file it...)

Whenever I take a screenshot, the screen becomes severely corrupted and starts flickering, and slows down X for a while. This doesn't always happen - it looks like it requires switching between windows.
This always causes the problem:
- Run "sleep 10; import -window root whatever.png" in a terminal
- Switch to a different window and wait.
But if I remove "sleep 10", then it works fine.

I'm using KDE 4.3 RC2 with desktop effects enabled. I have an NVidia
GeForce 9400M video card with proprietary drivers version 185.18.14. (I
downloaded them from NVidia's website - version 180 that came with
Ubuntu crashes too often to be usable.)
