[arch-general] Irritating bug in outdated version of gnome-flashback

The current version of gnome-flashback in the repositories has a bug with
taking
screenshots to the clipboard using the keyboard shortcut. After using it a
couple times, pasting the resulting image no longer works and crashes some
targets. At the same time gnome-flashback locks up.

More details in the upstream bug report:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-flashback/-/issues/50
It was fixed in 3.37.1.

This is a feature I use daily, and I can imagine many others do too.

gnome-flasback has been flagged outdated for a while now, and it seems the
maintainer, Balló György has been inactive for some time.

Can we get an update for this package?
