Is fglrx installed? To find out:
apt-cache policy fglrx
Colin
Yes, it is. But if you are thinking of the bug we looked at yesterday,
https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-screenshot/+bug/1103847
This isn't it, because that one generates an error message and fails to
perform screenshot, and mine doesn't do that, it performs screenshot,
but with an old image.
Sorry, correction: that one does perform screenshot, but with an old
image,
just like mine. But that one generates an error message, and mine
doesn't.
That's the only difference.
I still think it would be worth uninstalling fglrx to see if it fixes
it, it is a remarkable coincidence to get such an odd symptom. When I
uninstalled it (for a different problem) it automatically fell back
to the free driver and I don't notice any difference in performance
(though I am not running graphics intensive games or similar). You
can always re-install it again.

I have found a couple of pages of instructions on how to do that:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/445758/uninstalling-previous-install-of-the-fglrx-driver
http://askubuntu.com/questions/68306/how-do-i-remove-the-proprietary-ati-drivers
Any comments on those, please, to help me decide whether to pitch into one
or another of them?
No idea, sorry, I just uninstalled fglrx. Possibly that was not the
right thing to do but it seemed to work for me.
Colin
Well, how did you uninstall it? That is what those pages are about, how
to uninstall it. How did you do it.
