Dear Maintainer,

Spectacle cannot take snapshot on my computer. I'm running KDE5 with kwin-wayland. When i launch the spectacle, it prints strange output to terminal:

=============
libpng error: Read Error
QPixmap::scaled: Pixmap is a null pixmap
==== end ====

then the spectacle UI says, 'could not take a snapshot please report this bug here ...', with blank preview.
