(Get the code!)
Screen shot target was current window.
First try at a screen shot was unsatisfactory due transparency issues not visible on the original. The unwelcome shadows were from the screen shot dialogue which had overlapped the original window.
Second try involved moving the target to the extreme bottom left, renaming the first try, then trying again with the screen shot dialogue fairly high up on the right hand side - then bingo - the crash.
Environment was Dell Dimension 4700 with only 512k of RAM, live CD to test Ubuntu, not install it. I had three text documents (852 bytes, 14.7Kb and 35.4Kb) already on the desktop, and the first screen shot was 96.4k - as would the second have been.
For what it's worth (and so as not to lose it, because I may have limited storage here) all this current desktop content is attached. The .tgz is another 100k on the desktop so it looks as though the problem is not one of available storage.
