ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I tried other screenshot programs from pamac appstore after this issue started
happening. Gnome screenshot is not working either. But "Flameshot" works as
expected.
As mentioned here (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues/5785), I looked
into org.kde.spectacle.desktop file. It already contained
"X-KDE-DBUS-Restricted-Interfaces=org.kde.kwin.Screenshot,org.kde.KWin.ScreenShot2"
line which they tell us to add. So, I don't think it's the problem.
