Description of problem: The color picker of gcolor3 stopped working on my Xfce Fedora. It used to work fine before, but I haven't used it in a while. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gcolor3-2.4.0-1.fc33.x86_64 xdg-desktop-portal-1.8.1-1.fc33.x86_64 xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.20.10-1.fc33.x86_64 xfwm4-4.16.1-1.fc33.x86_64 from https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/nonamedotc/xfce416-f33/ Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open gcolor3 on Xfce 2. Click the color picker Actual results: Nothing happens. Expected results: Cursor changes to color picker, I can pick colors from my screen. Additional info: The console output says: ** (gcolor3:2867328): WARNING **: 13:03:45.003: Failed to pick color: Screenshot failed
ACK, will take a look over the week-end. Can you reproduce the issue on GNOME (with Xorg) if you have it installed?
I don't. I will try but my system disk is getting really full, so not sure if possible.
gcolor3 now uses the portal to take screenshots, it will not work with xfce. https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/gcolor3/-/commit/f68055ce
Indeed, downgrading to gcolor3-2.3.1-7.fc33.x86_64 makes it work again. I don't think we should have updated gcolor in stable Fedoras like that, but it has already been done. Is there an alternative other than gcolor2?

Upstream changelog only mentionned 'Color Picker now works on Wayland!' (https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/gcolor3/-/tags/v2.4.0), nothing breaking for Xorg environment. I'll have to look how this portal thing work / where it is (not) implemented - I don't really know how the whole thing is wired.
