Bug Description

When I use the "prt sc" key on the keyboard to take screenshots, even when I set "Include pointer" in `gnome-screenshot` it excludes the pointer.

It works well when I click on "Take Screenshot" from the tool.

The same happens for delay. Setting a delay doesn't seem to have any effect on taking screenshots using `prt sc` key on keyboard.

The bug is found on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. with unity 7.4 (default)
