--- Comment #1 from Emmanuele Bassi (:ebassi) <ebassi at gmail.com> ---
Considering that Shutter is trying to use the X11 API, I'm wondering why you
thought it would work, or why you think GTK+ has anything to do with it.

Wayland is fundamentally different than X11. You cannot grab the root window;
you cannot walk the tree of windows; and, in general, any process can only
access the contents of the windows it created.

You should ask the Shutter developers to fix their application to work under
Wayland; sadly there is no common protocol to ask the Wayland compositor to
provide a screenshot. GNOME Shell has a DBus interface described here:

https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-shell/tree/data/org.gnome.Shell.Screenshot.xml

I'm pretty sure KWin has a similar interface.
