Bug#671831: gnome-screenshot: main window never appears; can't save/copy screenshots

[Brian Marshall]

Package: gnome-screenshot
Version: 3.4.1-1
Severity: important

Hi,

gnome-screenshot flashes the screen and makes the shutter noise, but it no
longer opens the "Save Screenshot" window, so I can't use it to actually take
screenshots anymore. This message appears in the terminal:

    ** (gnome-screenshot:7018): WARNING **: Unable to use GNOME Shell's builtin
    screenshot interface, resorting to fallback X11. Error:
    GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Failed: Error: Expected type utf8
    for Argument 'filename' but got type 'boolean' (nil)

I'm using gnome-shell 3.2.2.1-2 in wheezy. Downgrading gnome-screenshot to
3.2.1-3 fixes the bug.
