Bug Description

This seems to be similar to lp bug #685552 but I see this with 12.04 and the latest unity (currently 5.4.0 RC1). Instead of SIGSEGV my desktop freezes. What I usually do is go to terminal (ctrl+alt+f1) and killall Xorg. After I login, I can actually see the screenshot plugin was enabled.

How to reproduce:
1. go to ccsm
2. enable screenshot plugin

One more comment:
- this only happens to me when enabling the plugin, disabling seems to work fine
- the desktop doesn't freeze completely. I can move with mouse cursor. It is just that clicking doesn't do anything and desktop doesn't react on keyboard

We should deactivate this plugin then. It duplicates a functionality that is already provided by gnome-screenshot.
