Bug Description
Running Gnome 3.18 and Gnome Shell as the new Wayland Compositor, shutter doesn't work. I.e. it's only creating a screenshot of the shutter logo in a distorted way.
I don't if that's something that can be fixed easily, but it seems Wayland (security) related.
Otherwise thanks for this outstanding screenshot tool!

Confirmed, though I'm not sure whether it's the Shutter logo I'm seeing.
This is related to the security in Wayland, which prevents applications from seeing other application's viewports.
Gnome-screenshot manages, so it must be possible in some way. I'm just not sure what API is being used.
