Bug Description

I'm not able to take a screenshot of a single window using gnome-screenshot. In the terminal I get

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
france@laptest:~$ gnome-screenshot --window

** (gnome-panel-screenshot:736): WARNING **: Couldn't find window manager window
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and then a picture of the entire screen is taken.

This is on an updated edgy; gnome-utils version: 2.15.91-0ubuntu1
