Usable screenshot tools

[Brian Cluff]

Spectacle works perfectly for me.  From what you are describing it 
sounds like something in Xorg is broken, and I'm betting that you won't 
be able to find any screenshot program that won't crash.
You can probably continue to use spectacle if you can find out what in X 
is broken.
