A Screenshot Of The Error In Spectacle's GUI
# SUMMARY
KScreenLocker cannot be screenshotted in any mode, but most importantly, full
screen mode (due to the other modes being inapplicable due to other,
already-reported bugs) for two users using Plasma 6, [^1] but can for one user
using Plasma 5. [^2]
# STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set an appropriate delay (4s).
2. Select "Full Screen". If you don't (and, instead, use "Active Window" mode),
you'll see https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=501593#c0's error message.
3. Lock to KScreenLocker.
4. Wait 4s.
5. Unlock.
# OBSERVED RESULT
Spectacle fails to capture a screenshot, with:
> ~~~
> An error occurred while taking a screenshot.
> KWin screenshot request failed:
> Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did
> not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the
> reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
> Potentially relevant information:
> - Method: CaptureScreen
> - Method specific arguments: "DP-1"
> ~~~
This has been corroborated by another user. [^1]
# EXPECTED RESULT
It should capture a screenshot, as it does for others. [^2]
