FYI:
This is a long-standing bug in upstream which has not been solved for
the general case.
I, as the de-factor maintainer of KSnapshot, provided a patch about 2
years ago. One of the former maintainers did not like the patch and
threatened to revert my patch in case I committed. He did not provide
a proper patch because he didn't even accept this as a bug (!).
Therefore, this issue remains open and I am not going to fix it, that
kind of attitude made me lose interest in KSnapshot.
There is a very good KDE screenshotting application called Kaption, my
advise is to give up on KSnapshot (the codebase is unmaintainable,
it's just too messed up to fix some of the issues) and move to
something else.
