copy to clipboard crashes shutter

[sudoer]

any attempt to copy a screenshot to clipboard results in crash of the program:

[~]$ shutter
WARNING: Image::ExifTool is missing --> writing Exif information will be disabled!

WARNING: Gtk2::AppIndicator is missing --> there will be no icon showing up in the status bar when running Unity!

GLib-CRITICAL **: Source ID 137 was not found when attempting to remove it at /usr/bin/shutter line 7249.
The program 'shutter' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 3946 error_code 3 request_code 18 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

I think that this is a problem with your X configuration (or maybe some interplay between the X configuration and Shutter). At least I cannot reproduce this issue on my machine... Since Shutter's development seems dead, I'd recommend to attack the problem from the X side and try to get some support from the Mint community.
