Synopsis: gnome-panel-screenshot has unexpected behavior
Bugzilla-Product: gnome-panel
Bugzilla-Component: Panel
Bugzilla-Version: 2.8.x
Description:
Description of Problem:
When selecting to capture a window (or hitting Alt-PrintScreen) while
the mouse is over the desktop (not within an app window) a desktop
capture is done, but where the windows should be I get the background
repeated.  Also, gnome-panel-screenshot fills in where I have
gnome-panels with another copy of the background.  This behavior is
somewhat odd.  I don't know if it is necessarily a bug, but it is
unexpected, useless behavior.  I would think the user should at least
get just a screenshot of the desktop (with no windows) or the possibly
the exact same thing you would have if you hit PrintScreen (or omitted
the --window option).

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Chose a background that has some irregularities to it (not solid
color) (b/c it's easier to see this way.
2. Open a couple of terminal windows.
3. Move the mouse so it points to the desktop background (not in a
window)
4. Hit Alt-PrintScreen (in Gnome)

Actual Results:
A weird screenshot where the background is repeated within spaces that
were panels and/or windows.

Expected Results:
Something reasonable, such as the exact same thing you get when you hit
PrintScreen, a whole screen screenshot.

How often does this happen?
Every time
