Package: gnome-screenshot
Version: 3.16.2-1
Followup-For: Bug #792089

I had the same problem, been using gnome-screenshot a lot, but
in the past few weeks with this bug was impossible to use.
The modal gray window cover the whole captured area and is sticky
over all the other windows, it doesn't capture mouse/keyboard
events, so eventually you blindly type/click on windows behind.

Weird downgrading to stable/3.14.0-1 doesn't change anything.

Commented out the cheese_flash stuff in screenshot_fallback_fire_flash()
in screenshot-utils.c and it solved (I don't care about being notified
by a flash, always use it in interactive mode)
