Bug ID: 365762
Summary: Unable to make snapshot (screenshot) on wayland
winodws (kwin_wayland session)
Product: ksnapshot
Version: unspecified
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: kscreengenie
Assignee: m...@baloneygeek.com
Reporter: dah5a...@genodeftest.de
In a kwin_wayland session, ksnapshot is unable to create screenshots on wayland
windows. It only works on x11 windows such as firefox or qt4 applications.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. log in to a kwin_wayland session, see [1] for details
2. open ksnapshot
3. a) try to take a snapshot of a single window
3. b) try to take a snapshot of the whole desktop

Actual Results:
a) When trying to take a snapshot of a single window, wayland windows are
ignored as if they didn't exist. Only after clicking in a x11 window the
screenshot is created
b) "whole desktop" screenshots can't be made
Expected Results:
Take screenshots like on x11:
a) take screenshot of any window
b) take screenshot of the whole desktop
By default, wayland applications don't have any access to other wayland windows
and their content. I guess this feature has to be implemented in kwin_wayland
itself to work correctly.
