Description Laurent Bigonville 2012-05-29 11:59:03 UTC 
Hi,

When using gnome-screenshot in fallback mode, it shows the following warning:

** (gnome-screenshot:9788): WARNING **: Unable to use GNOME Shell's builtin screenshot interface, resorting to fallback X11. Error: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The  name org.gnome.Shell was not provided by any .service files

This message gives the user that something actually went wrong. This message should be silenced or the severity should be lowered to debug.

Something *did* go wrong; gnome-screenshot expects to use the Shell interface, and the X11 code path is a fallback that will eventually be removed.
Anyway, I turned this into a g_message now, so it's not as verbose and intimidating as the previous warning.
