Bug Description

I'm writing a script to automate taking screenshots for documentation. For my use case, I'm starting with a clean install and then install xdotool (for keyboard/mouse automation) and shutter. I would prefer to have to do as little setup as possible.

Currently, I have to first open Shutter and select a delay of about 3-4 seconds. (There's a bug where shutter's UI doesn't get out of the way quick enough at least in Ubuntu, but the delay can be useful in other cases too.)

New cli-options:

               Wait n seconds before taking a screenshot.

There is already a testing package available:
