Thanks for the tip!
ksnapshot works better although it has the same problem, i.e., the
keyboard input is also not processed. If I use for example Alt+Tab I still
see the window selection, but it does not switch window or desktop.
However, as long as I put the window that I need to take the snapshot of
in the foreground, then ksnapshot works. I still cannot switch desktop,
but it already helps. I also like that ksnapshot gives you a preview of
your snapshot and that you can select fullscreen, window, section of a
window or just a region. I should have known it earlier!

Dear TDE users list,
This is a problem probably outside of TDE. I often use ImageMagick import
to take a snapshot of part of my screen, such as a particular image. With
previous installations, up to openSUSE 15.2 (and TDE), I have always been
able to enter something like:
import test.ppm
and then either use for example Ctrl+F4 or Alt+Tab to switch to a
different desktop or window. However, with openSUSE 15.4 (tested with TDE
and LXDE) after entering the command for import the keyboard freezes and I
cannot switch desktop or window, neither I can exit import by pressing
Ctrl+C. The mouse still works and I can still take a screenshot of
whatever is on the screen. However, this makes it more combersome to take
a screenshot. The interesting thing is that it seems like whatever I type
on the keyboard is "queued" and executed once import exits (by drawing a
rectangle with the mouse). So eventually it still switches but only after
import is done.
If anybody has encountered this same problem and has a possible solution,
I would be glad to hear.
Thanks,
Gianluca
This doesn't specifically address your issue, but maybe there is a TDE
solution for this non-TDE problem.
Have you ever tried ksnapshot? I use it all the time, and it is highly
configurable. You can take a snapshot of the whole screen, or just a section,
and it has other similar features.
