Bug Description

After upgrading from Inrepid to Jaunty the compiz screenshot plugin was not working any more: it showed the blue area, but no image file was actually produced.
Launching compiz from the command line I got the error message:

/usr/bin/compiz.real (screenshot) - Error: failed to write screenshot image

After activating the compiz Png plugin in the Compiz Settings Manager everything was working fine again.
I think therefore that the Screenshot plugin should depend on the Png plugin.

Note: the Png plugin was not active in Intrepid, and yet the Screenshot plugin was working, it's not that Png got disabled by mistake in the upgrade.

Closing, as the compiz packages in Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic already have the fix for this issue.
