Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-utils

Does not occur with: Ubuntu Intrepid alpha 3
Problem occurs with: Ubuntu Intrepid daily live CD, 2008-09-01

1. Open "Take Screenshot".
2. Click "Take Screenshot".
3. In the "Save Screenshot" dialog, press Enter or click "Save".

What happens:
* "File already exists - The file 'ubuntu' already exists. Would you like to replace it?"
* If you click "Replace": "Error while saving screenshot - Impossible to save the screenshot to file:///home/ubuntu.
 Error was Error opening file '/home/ubuntu': Is a directory
. Please choose another location and retry."

What should happen:
* There should be a default filename, like there was previously.
* Even if you blank the default filename, the "Save" button should become insensitive.
