I have filed a new bug report for the screenshot feature.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/772336
I have also implemented a working prototype of the feature which is
attached in the comments. It would be great to get some feedback before
I start integrating it in apport.

I received a reply from the author of Shutter. He gave me a sample perl
script which allows to take screenshot of a window. But it requires
libgnome2-wnck-perl (if using the perl script) or libwnck (if writing
code in C).
I wonder if these libraries are included with Ubuntu when shipping ?

Thanks :)
Another option is to use xwd and xwdtopnm utilities but it doesn't work
the way it should.
However, there is a screenshot taking application Shutter, it also
provides the capability of pointing at a window and taking its
screenshot. Its written in Perl and I cannot read Perl code :)
As far as taking screenshot is concerned, how about this ?
import -window `xwininfo |grep 'Window id:' |cut -d -f4`

Wow, that's really cool! However, import is provided by imagemagick
which isn't included by default with most Ubuntu installations.

I added support for -x (for xprop ?) option to the bin/apport-bug
script, which will enable user to point at the problematic window and
generate a crash report for that application.
I used Matt Zimmerman's idea of implementation in the code as discussed
above

So long as the user knows what's happening and consents, I don't see a
problem.

It was suggested in a UDS session today that a good addition to this
feature would be to grab a screenshot of the window. I don't think this
is trivial with gnome-screenshot, but it should be possible to add the
needed functionality

Matt Zimmerman came up with this idea as well, he made a quick sketch
how it could look like:
-- 8 --
zenity --title=Select window --question --text=Please click on the window
where you see the problem.
zenity_pid=$!
window_pid=$(xprop _NET_WM_PID |cut -d= -f2)
Similar to bug 85170, but not quite the same.
Actually, I think this xprop feature mainly could be useful for apps
which don't have a Report a bug menu entry, like the Gnome Mouse
Properties dialog.
