Bug Description

For hi-dpi display of resolution 3840x2160, the scale factor is 2 and uses gnome-screenshot to generate screenshot image. I think its size of the screenshot of the whole desktop should be 3840x2160. But it will get the image size of 1920x1080.

This patch didn't fix it properly: screenshots were still blurry. I've fixed it upstream on gtk 3.18.

Please drop the patch from gnome-screenshot.

@larsu,

Could you help to provide more information about which series are you mentioning? trusty or wily?
