Um, please don't attach such large images to bug reports in the future. I don't need a copy of a successful screenshot, and especially not in a format like XCF which does not compress well compared to, say, PNG. I also don't need a 200 KB XCF (650 KB uncompressed) of a competely blank image when you could've said "it creates a completely transparent image with the same resolution as the window I'm trying to capture."
