segmentation fault in gnome-screenshot

Thanks for your bug. What version of Ubuntu do you use? Any reason you don't use
SHAPE for xorg?

Ups, I should have mentioned it before: I'm using a breezy system with
gnome-panel 2.12.0-0ubuntu2.

I do not even know what is the SHAPE extension. Should I attach my xorg.conf file?

yes please, what videocard do you have?

Created an attachment (id=4019)
xorg.conf file

The video card is an ATI Radeon Mobility 9200 M9+ on an iBook G4.

Daniel, any reason why shape is not listed by the config?

Actually, if I manually add the "shape" module to xorg.conf the problem disappears.

I've forwarded the issue upstream: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=317116

Thanks you for your reply!

However, SHAPE extension is initialized for me:
aron@lemon:~$ grep -C 5 SHAPE /var/log/Xorg.0.log
        compiled for 7.1.1, module version = 1.0.0
        Module class: X.Org Server Extension
        ABI class: X.Org Server Extension, version 0.3
(II) Loading extension SHAPE
(II) Loading extension MIT-SUNDRY-NONSTANDARD
(II) Loading extension BIG-REQUESTS
(II) Loading extension SYNC

Sorry for questioning you, but are you really sure #81817 is a duplicate of this?

The backtrace are pretty similar and upstream marked http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=383623 which marks your bug duplicate from that one

might not be a duplicate, I've undupped the upstream bugs, doing the same with the ubuntu tasks for them

I get the same error in Ubuntu 8.04.1.

I only get the error when trying to take a screenshot of an xterm window. Screenshots of the entire screen or a screenshot of a firefox window works fine.

gdb output is:

Bump/me too. I have the exact symptoms Werner describes (only screenshots of xterm cause problems) on 8.10/amd64.

PS - The problem werner and I are reporting seems to have nothing to do with the old SHAPE-related bug.

could you try if that's an issue on karmic too?
