GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 620100
The shape extension is not used in gnome-screenshot
Last modified: 2010-07-16 15:21:41 UTC
I think the configure script for gnome-screenshot is a bit broken so that it doesn't detect the shape extension correctly. Please see the attached patch. I noticed this because all of the screenshots in a Linux magazine had ugly random colors at the corners of the window decorations. I bet this bug is to blame (in addition to lazy journalism..)
Created attachment 162319 [details] [review] configure: Check for shape.h if the xext is available instead of if not Previously the configure script would only check for the shape.h header if the xext pkg-config package is *not* available. This meant that gnome-screenshot would only use the shape extension if the xext package isn't installed which doesn't make much sense. Presumably the intention was to check for the package and then check for the header so that the shape extension is only used if both are available. This patch fixes it to do that.
