"The design suggests that some sort of feedback about the success of the screenshot action is given" That's plain stupid, since you already get a window for confirmation. And if you use it from the terminal (with -f or -c option), you can easily see any warnings in the outputs.
A simple solution would be to make it an option (I know, option is devil in Gnome's mind, however as a casual user that's the first thing I tried, so I consider that not being able to disable this annoying effect is a bug). "support also Compiz as copositor" not a solution, since there are plenty of window-managers out there.
