Ubuntu bug about that: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/gnome-utils/+bug/31994
Debian bug for same issue, http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=401501 Happens when a screenshot with a ":" or a similar illegible character is saved to a non-POSIX filesystem such as an USB device using FAT32.
This bug is still there on gnome 2.18
this should have been fixed by the port of gnome-screenshot over to GIO. I've tried to reproduce it using the steps in the original report and it warned me with a message dialog.
