Problem with launching Hotshots

[FriendOfFatBeagle]

Hello:

Thank you for Hotshots.
I have strange formatting problem as shown below...... Sorry.

when I start Hotshots from command line, I got these errors:

DEBUG: [07:27:05]: Setting language to: auto
DEBUG: [07:27:06]: Register of 5 uploaders
"sni-qt/1564" WARN 07:27:06.009 void StatusNotifierItemFactory::connectToSnw() Invalid interface to SNW_SERVICE

(hotshots:1564): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_widget_get_direction: assertion 'GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed

(hotshots:1564): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_widget_get_direction: assertion 'GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed

But Hotshots did not crash.
It ran with some problems:

0) How do I fix the above error.
I have uninstalled and resintalled Hotshots several times already.

1) When in edit mode, there is now a screen grab rectangle from previous screenshot.
And everything outside the rectangle is black.
Before, there is no such rectangle.

2) I try to use kill <pid> to terminate Hotshots, but it would reappear.
How do I terminate Hotshots for good?

3) What folder is Hotshots installed under?
I would looking for Hotshots icon so I can add it to the panel/taskbar,
but not able to find Hotshots.

OS = Linux Mint 17.

Thanks.
