I've also had this very same problem. software recommendation - What screenshot tools are available? - Ask Ubuntu http://askubuntu.com/questions/6558/what-screenshot-tools-are-available
mentions scrot, an alternative. My problem under Ubuntu Unity is that the titles of windows are wrong on the screenshots of ImageMagick's import and xwd. Screenshots created by gnome-screenshot, shutter and scrot are fine. Perhaps the original poster and I don't understand the details of how all these screenshot tools differ. But please believe that from this users perspective, import (and xwd) do not create an accurate likeness of the user desktop. Here is my screenshot made with import: http://postimage.org/image/3lsymcqzf/ The bottom left window is actually minimized too! Note how it has no window decoration. This screenshot isn't actually bad, but note how the window title of the top gnome-terminal is burried behind the firefox window, but the teriminal contents are above firefox? My actual screen does not look like that. More or less the same screenshot made with scrot: http://postimage.org/image/3lsymcqzf/ It faithfully shows what I see on the screen. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/273976 Title: Intrepid alpha6: ImageMagick's import command takes bad screenshot when running Compiz.
