Bug Description

To replicate this do the following:

Open anything, web browser is what I had running.

Open the GIMP.

File->Acquire->Screenshot->

Grab "a Single Window", making sure gimp is still on top/in focus.

click 'grab', now look at where gimp was in the picture, and you'll see it's all distorted.

This error, in my opinion, definitely needs to be fixed before release.

Screen shot appended, below are my versions:

:~$ dpkg -l |grep -i gimp
ii cupsys-driver-gimpprint 4.3.99+cvs20051122.dfsg.1-2ubuntu1 printer drivers for CUPS
