Generating transparent corners is not possible when using compiz. If you are using compiz please try to switch to an alternative window manager, e.g. metacity (disable desktop effects).

It's a technical limitation. Metacity uses the XSHAPE extension ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shape_extension ) to create non-rectangular windows and compiz uses compositing. It's easy to determine the shape in the first case but impossible to do
this when compositing is used.

All screenshot taking apps (gnome-screenshot, ksnapshot etc.) behave in the same way here. I am sorry for the inconvenience.
