Bug Description

`gnome-screenshot` doesn't work with i3

$ gnome-screenshot --area --clipboard
** Message: 17:12:05.576: Unable to select area using GNOME Shell's builtin screenshot interface, resorting to fallback X11.
** Message: 17:12:09.870: Unable to use GNOME Shell's builtin screenshot interface, resorting to fallback X11.

Selection works, but buffer is empty. Checking file size:

$ xsel -po > 1 && xsel -so > 2 && xsel -bo > 3 && ls -l 1 2 3
