as additional information (may be it would be useful): during my 2 previous gnome-panel-screenshot sessions in gdb, in order to attempt to reproduce the crash, I switched my window from the gdb terminal to other graphics window i.e. evolution. I mean:
1 - I launched gnome-panel-screenshot (run),
2 - ALT-TAB on evolution (for example)
3 - gnome-panel-screenshot appears above the evolution window
4 - I clicked "Save"
5 - then, either the crash occurs or not (but capture file is created).
6 - ALT-TAB to the gdb session in terminal.
7 - goto 1 above

This time, I wanted to see what appened if I did not ALT-TAB to another window:
Therefore in gdb I ran 20 times gnome-panel-screenshot without ALT-TABing to another window: I could not crash gnome-panel-screenshot: may be if I continued more tries it would have crashed, I don't know.

Then I did 7 additional runs with ALT-TABing as described above: gnome-panel-screenshot crashed on the 7th.

Anyway, here is a more complete trace with I more debugging symbols.
Before doing the runs, I installed
- libc6-dbg
- libglib2.0-0-dbgsym
- libgnomevfs2-0-dbg
