The bug has been opened on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-utils/+bug/99995

"Binary package hint: gnome-utils

gnome-screenshot creates a /tmp/gnome-screenshot directory owned by the first user to run it. The next user to run gnome-screenshot experiences a hang when gnome-screenshot tries to save the screenshot."
