Issue with black frames around system tray icons on import

[hwttdz]

I'm trying to use import to capture a screenshot. Namely as:

import -descend -window root screenshot.jpg

but I get annoying black boxes around all my system tray icons, any thoughts?

perhaps because jpg does not support transparency. does your image you are trying to capture have transparency?

Doesn't work in png either. Tried a few flags and wasn't able to make any progress. scrot seems to be a working replacement for the time being.

More than likely it is exactly what the X window system is actually returning to the IM program.

Do you have 3-D graphics acceleration being used?

It may also be caused by the X window server using fancy composition layering.
