Well, I pretty much got told where to stick it...

"Considering that Shutter is trying to use the X11 API, I'm wondering

Wayland is fundamentally different than X11. You cannot grab the root

You should ask the Shutter developers to fix their application to work
under Wayland; sadly there is no common protocol to ask the Wayland
compositor to provide a screenshot. GNOME Shell has a DBus interface
