Details

I used gnome-screenshot 3.4.1-1 without problem. I've updated to 3.6.0-1 and now the screenshots are completely blank (both entire desktop or single window).

I use arch 64 bits with LXDE and openbox. As I'm not using gnome and 3.4 worked for me, maybe there's a missing dependence in 3.6 not needed in 3.4.
This task depends upon

Works fine in gnome. I have a fresh install(1 day old).

Works fine for me, I upgrade from gnome 3.4

I've downgraded to gnome-screenshot 3.4.1-1 and the bug is still there. I've tested gnome-screenshot from command line and it takes the blank picture withot any message. I've tried 'gnome-screenshot --g-fatal-warnings' to see the warnings and I've received:

** (gnome-screenshot:952): WARNING **: Unable to use GNOME Shell's builtin screenshot interface, resorting to fallback X11. Error: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.gnome.Shell was not provided by any .service files

[1] 952 trace trap (core dumped) gnome-screenshot --g-fatal-warnings

but honestly I don't have any idea if this information is useful.

I still think that the recent update to 3.6.0-1 was the guilty, but maybe some other update package broke gnome-screenshot in my computer. The last day I make a snapshot of my desktop was about 1 month ago and gnome-screenshot 3.4.1-1 worked without problem, but I've updated lots of files since then, if the bug is in some other package I won't be able to find it blindly. Any idea what could I search?

gnome-screenshot broke in the same way for me after a recent update, using Gnome Fallback. However, it works normally if gnome-shell is used.

I confirm this in GNOME fallback mode. Someone just reported this bug to upstream:

Now it's fixed in cairo git master[1]. I attached a fixed PKGBUILD for cairo.

Thanks, I've built the patched cairo from PKGBUILD it fixed the bug

Edit: I can confirm that recent 1.12.8-1 repo's version also fixed this bug
