Any repercussions for installing xdg-desktop-portal-gtk in Mate?

Goal: a screenshot that will save uploadable pics in the XXXKB range. gnome-screenshot (that always saves png's in the XXXKB range) only works with xdg-desktop-portal-gtk installed. (running it from the terminal told me this).

Native Mate-utilities screenshot: saves pngs at 3-4MB. No preferences menu.
Flameshot: overkill
Spectacle: too KDE
(all ^^ repo items).
thanks for any clarity.

brent xdg-desktop-portal-gtk should be fine being used on any GTK-based desktop.

EbonJaeger that portal-gtk seemed *** to take care of it. great quality, no MB size.

Ironically, the terminal message stayed the same***:

$ gnome-screenshot
** Message: 18:28:39.147: Unable to use GNOME Shell's builtin screenshot interface, resorting to fallback X11.

GUI Screenshot (the gnome app) launched from app menu works like a charm. Gives you the familiar 3 options, lets you choose time and place. etc. Consider me restored. Baffled that the terminal output stayed the same before and after the ...portal-gtk package install.

Just letting you know/FYI. Not a gripe in the least. I have the screenshot I want and need so very happy.
