Description Andre Miranda 2017-04-28 23:46:37 UTC 
Version: gnome-screenshot 3.22.0

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run gnome-screenshot -c
2. Open GIMP
3. File-New-Create from clipboard  (CTRL + SHIFT + V)

Actual results:
It takes some time than it writes "There is no image data in the clipboard"

Expected results:
Import of image data without timeout

This bug was reported for xfce4-screenshooter[1]. Since both apps use gtk_clipboard_set_image this function might be the culprit. This bug doesn't seem to affect the interactive mode, maybe because the app is not closed after clicking the Copy to Clipboard button.

Comment 1 Cosimo Cecchi 2017-04-28 23:52:00 UTC 
Is the bug only reproducible under xfce? Clipboard data is managed by gnome-settings-daemon in GNOME, and if xfce does not use it there may be a bug in its equivalent implementation.
Comment 2 Andre Miranda 2017-04-29 00:09:59 UTC 
You're right. Running /usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon/gsd-clipboard instead of xfsettingsd fixes the bug on both apps. I'll report a bug for xsettingsd, thanks!
