Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-utils

The binary 'gnome-screenshot' is part of the gnome-utils package
$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS
Release: 10.04

$ apt-cache policy gnome-utils
gnome-utils:
  Installed: 2.30.0-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 2.30.0-0ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 2.30.0-0ubuntu1 0
        500 http://ru.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

TO REPRODUCE:
invoke [menu] -- Applications -- Accessories -- Take Screenshot.
Leave the "Delay" parameter to be 0 sec.
Press the "Take Screenshot" button.
(Maybe, you'll need to run a few Java applications + Sun Virtual Box
to have the processor(s) busy enough. I did.)

EXPECTED:
A screenshot of the desktop beneath the gnome-screenshot window.

ACTUAL:
There's a transparent shadow of the gnome-screenshot window.

Note that the "ghost on the photo" is not complete -- it's the upper half.
