Originally posted at http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?t=298 as a request
for whether it could be fixed through config etc.

I'm trying to take screenshots of the Dawn of War game through Wine. The game
runs fine with Wine and under Windows it has a built-in screenshot function
that dumps a JPEG to a sub-folder.

Under Wine the game never gets the print screen request because Compiz or
Metacity hijack the signal first and start Gnome-Screenshot. Sometimes the
screenshot is okay, but other times the screenshot has shearing/artifacting it
in, presumably because the trooper in the game moved before the screenshot app
could copy the whole image buffer.

If I change the key bindings so that nothing is intercepting the print screen
then I do get a screenshot in the folder as expected, but it is pure black and
so isn't very useful.

Apparently this is a bug that has been fixed before. I've assumed it is some
form of DirectX issue.

Graphics: Radeon X800XL with FGLRX v8.3 using AIGLX on XOrg server 7.3
OS: Fedora 8
Wine: 0.9.56 from Fedora repos
Tested under: Compiz-Fusion and Metacity
Success rate: Occasional for Gnome-Screenshot. Some screenshots only have minor
shearing/artifacting and are usable, others are terrible.

Example screenshots can be provided if necessary.
