Screenshots of DisplayLink monitors do not save to desktop

I am using MacOSX 10.6.7. When I attempt to take screen shots of windows that are displayed on a monitor connected via DisplayLink, the screenshot is never saved to my desktop.

Performing the exact same actions with a window that is contained inside a monitor hooked up via a non DisplayPort method does produce a screen shot on my desktop. Additionally, taking a screenshot of the desktop does not include any monitors that are hooked up via DisplayLink.

Oddly enough, if the window I am attempting to take a screen shot of is only partially on a non DisplayLink monitor and partially on a DisplayLink monitor, the screen capture works fine.
