Bug Description
I need to make screenshots including the cursor.
Installled today (2009-06-17) a fresh copy of shutter from launchpad site on my Ubuntu Hardy Heron.
Activated the "Include cursor" preference.
Set 4s delay.
I made several screenshots using selection mode.
The result is invariably the following:
a) There appears a clipped cursor pointer in the saved PNG image. (looks like the standard cursor)
b) It is not the cursor I see on the screen, which indeed is what I want to catch with the screenshot.
Thank you for the attention

Thank you for your bug report, Louis.
a) Could you please attach a sample screenshot showing the problem?
b) Shutter always uses the standard cursor. To solve this problem we need to work with the XFixes Extension of the X Window System, see: http:// en.wikipedia. org/wiki/ XFixes
The problem is that there is no perl binding for that and due to the fact that Shutter is written in perl that's kind of a problem.
