Bug Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. Try to make delayed screenshot of area with `gnome-screenshot --area --delay 10`

Expected results:
User is able to set delay when taking screenshot of area

Actual results:
User is unable to set delay when taking screenshot of area because of options conflict (but why?):

```
$ gnome-screenshot --area --delay 10
Conflicting options: --area and --delay should not be used at the same time.
```
