Bug Description

Binary package hint: gtk-recordmydesktop

The application is unusable in 11.04. One cannot right-click on the recording widget to spawn the show/stop buttons, and left-clicking on the widget yields a menu in which 'show/hide main window' are disabled. Thus - you cannot stop a recording once started, at all.

I had a quick look at the code, of the indicator applet for gtk-recordmydesktop, everything is looking ok there.
As far as I understand this issue it is a bug in dbusmenu (LP: #728503) where menuitems are not updated properly.

With today's update (of libdbusmenu) this bug is solved for me, while recording the menu gets updated properly, I get an "Pause" entry etc.

@Vadim, can you please update your system, if this issue gets fixed for you too we can close this bug, thanks.

Markus

Indeed, the problem is gone now. It does crash when I cancel the encoding though, I reported that as bug #731292
