SUMMARY
Spectacle hangs when launching/taking a rectangular screenshot.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open `spectacle` from terminal
2. Nothing happens, no crash, no logs

1. Open spectacle with `spectacle -l` to skip taking a screenshot
2. The GUI launches normally
3. Try to take a rectangular region screenshot
4. GUI vanishes and nothing happens, no logs, no crash, esc doesn't take back to the gui.

OBSERVED RESULT
Pressing PrtScr nothing happens.

EXPECTED RESULT
Pressing PrtScr would normally open the gui and show the captured image on it.

During writing this bug I had my second screen disabled, now that I enabled it spectacle launches normally again and the rectangular region works again. Was it trying to access the other disabled monitor or something?
