Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-utils
gnome-screenshot exits cleanly with a return code of 01. It prints a
message before it ends however:
The program 'gnome-screenshot' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'.
(Details: serial 4799 error_code 3 request_code 15 minor_code 0)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
To reproduce this bug:
1. $ gnome-screenshot --interactive
2. Click the "Grab the current window" radio button option
3. Click the "Take Screenshot" Button.
What should happen:
A window should pop up asking you where you want to save the file.
What happens instead:
gnome-screenshot exits cleanly with a return code of 01. It prints a message
before it ends however:
The program 'gnome-screenshot' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'.

running:
$ gnome-screenshot --interactive --sync
fixes the issue.
