Shutter 0.90 in Ubuntu 13.10 has an 18 second delay starting a screen capture

[Jim Holman]

Shutter worked great in Ubuntu 13.04. Since my upgrade to 13.10 last night, Shutter is very slow. After clicking the "Selection" button until the screen "grays out" so that I can make a selection, is a delay of about 18 seconds. After this, taking the screen capture works fine. Each subsequent screen capture takes another 18 seconds before I can select.
Clicking "Redo last screenshot" takes about 3 seconds.

Running shutter from the command line gives these errors:

Clicking off shutter onto any other application adds more lines to the terminal session:

I purged shutter and reinstalled from Ubuntu 13.10 and also installed 0.90.1 from the PPAs from shutter-project-org, with no improvement.

Hello ,

Same problem here. When I hit “Selection” I wait ~2-3sec. which is really annoying when it must be instantly . I make a lot of screenshots and when this software keep me wait 3sec. for a single screenshot it's not useful for me. Also sometimes it just crash and when i choose "Selection" it open blanck window and thats it I must quit Shutter and start it again to fix that.
