No, it's Wayland that prevents screen capture for "normal" programs.

If you use the development version, I have recently added support for 
"freedesktop portal", a DBus interface that allows to ask for a desktop 
screenshot.

It works, but it is far slower, as it executes a screenshot program in 
the background to get the screenshot, save it to a file, and then you 
have to reload the file to finally get the screenshot.
