I have wondered a bit at this, one thing that drove me to arch from ubuntu on this was their moving to wayland, that literally broke everything, including all DE's except for gnome3, which mostly I hated with passion. I really can't find any sign that this is using wayland vs. x though, as

For the screen shot - log out and log in again, but select the X11 option as your DE - my guess (as a long time Fedora user) is that your distro has made Wayland the default compositor and this has broken the screen shot tools(some Wayland specific ones are developing, but in Gnome AFAIK). When

Normally I would agree, but I don't have a lot of issues with xorg itself, at least when KDE or whatever DE behaves, and when I do have issues, most seems based around kwin compositing being shite, or their video setup getting settings wrong and randomly changing them (which I've only used for a

On the developer side, it gets rid of a lot of the old cruft from the 20+ years of development and compatibility that's required of such an old project. From what I can tell, the concept of what's going on underneath the covers is also much simpler. On the user end, it solves some long-standing

Spectacle works perfectly for me.  From what you are describing it sounds like something in Xorg is broken, and I'm betting that you won't be able to find any screenshot program that won't crash. You can probably continue to use spectacle if you can find out what in X is broken. Brian Cluff
