Bug ID: 427851
Summary: GIMP internal screenshot tool broken by 5.20 release
Product: kwin
Version: 5.20.0
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: adam.m.fontenot+...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
DESCRIPTION
GIMP has a built in screenshot tool. File > Create > Screenshot.
This tool worked as of 5.19.5, but now fails with an error. (Both with X,
Wayland not tested.)
Execution error for 'Screenshot':
GDBus.Error:org.kde.kwin.Screenshot.Error.NoAuthorized: The process is not
authorized to take a screenshot
It looks like a feature was added to provide more security around screenshots
(although, I'm not sure what the point is on X - anything that doesn't play
nice and use KWin's DBUS method still works find, scrot for example).
I can't find anything in systemsettings to allow other programs to take
screenshots, so (IMO) this security feature should be disabled until some way
to manage them is provided.
