Bug#782181: shutter: The Shutter windows lack distinguishing X roles and instance names

[Tomas Sandven]

Unfortunately I have taken the Wayland plunge since I opened that bug
request, which means I can no longer use Shutter for screenshots, nor do I
have it installed.

To check if this has been fixed, just open Shutter and open some dialogs,
then check all their class IDs, instance IDs and roles using "xprop". If
they have distinguishable instance IDs or roles so they can be targeted and
treated differently by the WM, then this bug is fixed.
