GIMP is a free software project. Anyone can write code and contribute
modifications to it.

The source code for the Windows screenshot plug-in is here:
http://git.gnome.org/browse/gimp/tree/plug-ins/common/screenshot.c

If any of your developers who have diagnosed this problem are willing
to help fix this issue, please ask them to contact us in the #gimp IRC
channel on irc.gnome.org.  We'll provide instructions on how to compile
GIMP for Windows, and they can then modify the screenshot plug-in's
source code to fix the problem. This would be the most straightforward
thing for you and us, as you have the environment to reproduce whatever
bug you are facing.


Kind regards,

Mukund
