(Get the code!)
This a known problem.
After hiding and/or minimizing it is very hard to check whether the window really is not visible on the screen anymore because the window manager is handling the request.
It is even harder to work around this issue as more and more users are using compiz and nice effects are added by the window manager.
In older versions we used just a simple 'sleep %seconds' statement but there are some great disadvantages. Users with very fast machines may recognize an improvement but users with very old system (this bug usually is not present there) need to wait a second where it would not be needed.
I think we need a 'real' solution here because it will never be solved totally when dealing with fixed seconds to sleep before taking the screenshot.
