Screenshot capture exludes window decorations

[Ricardo Pérez López]

Binary package hint: compiz

Steps to reproduce:

1. Active Compiz (System->Preferences->Appearance, Visual Effects tab, then select Normal or Extra).
2. Open any window.
3. Press Alt+PrtScr in order to call gnome-screenshot --window.

Expected behavior: gnome-screenshot captures all the window, including the window title and border decorations.

Actual behavior: gnome-screenshot captures only the inside of the window, excluding the window title and border decorations.

The problem appears when using ksnapshot, too. Therefore,, it seems to be a Compiz problem.

Same problem here.
Can you post your /var/log/Xorg.0.log and the output of lspci -vvnn as separate attachments to your bug report.

Confirming the behaviour in 9.04. I'm not sure if this is a bug in Compiz as it may generate window decorations in a different manner to traditional window managers. It may be that the gnome and KDE screenshot capturing tools don't know how to detect the window decorations. There may be no way for them to detect these decorations.

This requires a comment from an expert as to where the issue is.

Yes, it looks like.
