KSnapshot icon included on screenshot

Version:           SVN (using KDE 4.5.90) 
OS:                Linux

When creating a screenshot using PrintScreen key, the launch indication of KSnapShot is included on the shot, at least when your computer is fast ;)
It should not be included since it leaves a weird icon on your screenshots.
See attachment (Was created for other purpose but you‘ll see what I am talking about)

Reproducible: Always

While this is a duplicate of bug 234526, I feel it could be fixed in KWin. KWin now has control over the launch feedback icon, and it should omit it in snapshots, which it controls, too, as far as I know.
Comment 2 Christoph Feck 2011-01-05 20:54:55 UTC 
On the other side, being able to snapshot the launch feedback icon might be interesting (e.g. for bug 260727) so it should probably be fixed in ksnapshot not to show a launch feedback icon in the first place. Not sure if it possible.
Comment 3 Kai Uwe Broulik 2011-01-05 21:02:14 UTC 
If I remember correctly, there is a X-Launch-Feedback or so property in the .desktop files for various purposes, is there something similar for launch of an application using a non-standard way (i.e. not via Kickoff but a keystroke or something)? So it would be possible to create such a file for KSnapshot and have it not triggering the launch feedback.

No it only controls snapshots of single windows and not of fullscreen. In single window mode it is impossible to include the busy cursor.

There is nothing I can see what KWin could do about it. Though KSnapshot could wait till the busy icon is removed.

Though this might be fixable by moving also fullscreen snapshots to kwin. With the prospect of Wayland this makes sense, now.
