Wayland and Shutter

[SternData]

I seem to be the only person on this bug:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1299293

So, if you use shutter and Gnome, would you mind loading Gnome with
Wayland and see if shutter works for you?  It would be nice to know if
it's me-specific or a general problem.

Please attach the tracker bug mentioned in this article

https://fedoramagazine.org/help-fedora-test-wayland/

This is expected behaviour for Wayland, applications shouldn't have access to other applications viewports.

Also, I'm not saying it's helpful behaviour, just expected. Anything that tries to copy the screen like Skype screenshareing teamviewer, or collaboration call systems do not work under Wayland.

Well, I pretty much got told where to stick it...

"Considering that Shutter is trying to use the X11 API, I'm wondering
why youthought it would work, or why you think GTK+ has anything to do
with it.

Wayland is fundamentally different than X11. You cannot grab the root
window;you cannot walk the tree of windows; and, in general, any process
can only access the contents of the windows it created.

You should ask the Shutter developers to fix their application to work
under Wayland; sadly there is no common protocol to ask the Wayland
compositor to provide a screenshot. GNOME Shell has a DBus interface
described here:
