Description Nrbrtx 2018-02-22 22:59:01 UTC
Steps to reproduce:
1. Try to make delayed screenshot of area with `gnome-screenshot --area --delay 10` on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, 16.04 LTS, 17.10 or 18.04 LTS.

Expected results:
User is able to set delay when taking screenshot of area

Actual results:
User is unable to set delay when taking screenshot of area because of options conflict (but why?):

```
$ gnome-screenshot --area --delay 10
Conflicting options: --area and --delay should not be used at the same time.
```
