Description: Hello.

Find a weird bug using gnome screenshot. If you want to have a single window screenshot using either alt+PrintScreen or GUI interface, you'll get a corrupted file. I'm also using nvidia driver.

Got this in my .xsession-error log file :

** (gnome-screenshot:27677): WARNING **: Unable to use GNOME Shell's builtin screenshot interface, resorting to fallback X11. Error: Le fichier image « /home/fred/.cache/gnome-screenshot/scr--1328043383.png » ne contient pas de données

(gnome-screenshot:27677): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_get_from_surface: assertion `width > 0 && height > 0' failed

(gnome-screenshot:27677): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_window_resize: assertion `width > 0' failed

** (gnome-screenshot:27677): CRITICAL **: Unable to capture a screenshot of any window

Of course, it worked with previous xorg-server version.

I know testing can be broken, so I'm reporting this bug which looks like a testing package problem.

Additional info:
xorg-server 1.12.3.901-1
gnome-screenshot 3.4.1-1
nvidia 304.32-2

Steps to reproduce: Have a fully up-to-date archlinux with testing and gnome.
Press alt+printscreen.
See the result.
This task depends upon

Some more infos on this bug, found after I filed this bug.

1) Downgrading to previous version : not working.
2) Replacing nvidia by nouveau : working.

So it could be a nvidia driver bug.

Needless to say nvidia 304.51 is still broken :(

Apparently, this bug is fixed in incoming drivers.

"It is working for me on Fedora 18 with Xorg 1.13.0 and nvidia 310.14."

Still a problem with 304.64?

Do not test nVidia 304.64, but I don't think it will fix this bug.

Changelog of 304.64 version :

Added support for the following GPUs:
VGX K1
VGX K2
Added a missing 32-bit compatibility library for libnvidia-opencl.so to the 64-bit Linux installer package.
Fixed a regression in backlight control functionality on some notebook configurations.
Fixed a performance issue with recent Linux kernels when allocating and freeing system memory.
Fixed a bug that sometimes prevented the display device / X screen selection menu from being displayed in nvidia-settings.
Fixed a bug that prevented X driver gamma manipulation from working after a VT-switch on some configurations.
Added the option "--output-file" to nvidia-bug-report.sh to allow specifying a custom filename for the log file.
Fixed a hang when using OpenGL programs with some SLI Mosaic configurations on pre-Fermi GPUs.
Added sections to the "Supported NVIDIA GPU Products" list for NVS, Tesla, and VGX products.

Nothing related to broken screenshot.
