Bug Description

I was trying to report another bug regarding Sound Menu, for which i wanted to take a screenshot with the Sound Menu open. This however simply did not work.
Same with open power, network, messaging and shutdown menu.
 Taking a screenshot does, however, work, when slingshot is opened.

[Gtk]Menus hold a grab on keyboard events while they are visible, so there's nothing we can do to fix this. Sorry!
