programmers-screenshot (0.27.2) noble; urgency=medium

  • The screen can be captured on a Wayland desktop that is not GNOME. The
    capture knew only X11's root window and org.gnome.Shell.Screenshot, which
    is GNOME's own interface, so on KDE, sway, Hyprland or COSMIC every shot
    failed with "no X11 root access, and org.gnome.Shell.Screenshot is
    unavailable". It now falls back to xdg-desktop-portal, which those
    desktops provide. GNOME is unchanged: its interface is still tried first,
    and takes the picture without a permission prompt. The file the portal
    leaves behind is removed, as the Shell's already was.
