Bug Description

Updated Mar 20 zesty, clean u8 exploration

gnome screenshot will seemingly quit, and will not capture the desired screen
to repro:
1) launch screenshot app from the app drawer
2) make indications to take a screenshot ( i selected custom area to select)
3) "take screenshot"
result: application bail out, in the instance of "select area" case, it will take a screen shot in the instance of "full screen".
expected: get a screen shot of desired and the application should remain on screen.

I suspect this is due to screenshot's reliance on X and our use of Xmir not being completely worked out in terms of what the applications perception of the screen vs it's own window is.

The windowing oddity looks like bug 1665286.

I can't reproduce a "complete lock up" though. When that happens what does your unity8.log show?

retested, overhauled description based on the latest findings (at least I no longer see the u8 lockup now)
