I got the same issue like reported by @cruz-fernandez - small screenshost may work, larger ones will just display the top part, and most of the times there is nothing to paste...saving always works.
I also tried shutter, with the effect that when you hit the "Selection" button you will not see the desktop --> you just see the shutter logo all over the screen and this is the only thing you will capture...
