[Gimp-developer] screenshot lost option, also an error message is printed to screen

[Elle Stone <ellestone ninedegreesbelow com>]

Recent changes have been made to the screenshot code.

There used to be an option to select a portion of the screen to grab. 
That very useful option is now gone. Is there a reason? Can whoever 
removed it please put it back?

Probably a completely unrelated issue, but every time I make a 
screenshot, an error message is printed to the screen, that says:

Execution error for procedure 'gimp-image-attach-parasite':
'gimp-comment' parasite validation failed: comment
contains invalid UTF-8

Best,
Elle
