Comment 13 for bug 609893

I am able to reproduce this bug on a Maverick i386 system, and also on a Natty i386 system (running a classic desktop, not Unity). Also, we know this affects Lucid--Thibault Févry reported that in a comment to bug 610847, which I have marked as a duplicate of this bug.

I'm not sure what the best solution is for this bug, but I don't think preventing multiple instance of gnome-screenshot is necessarily the best way. After all, users may want to take a screenshot of a window (or a screen containing a window, or part of a window) created by gnome-screenshot itself. This could be accomplished with other programs, like GIMP, but users may not have GIMP installed or know how to use it, and typically gnome-screenshot is a much easier way to take simple screenshots.
