gnome-screenshot seems to be missing a check to see if the filename is
valid. 

If I try to save a file with : in the filename from gedit to a FAT32
partition, it refuses and blanks the filename entry. If I try the same
from gnome-screenshot it simply dies with "handle_transfer_vfs_error"
and the file is lost.

Might be an easy fix, will take look.
