Bug#679713: gnome-shell: Screencast recorder no longer works

[Markus Koschany]

Hi,

i can confirm Simon's bug report. I'm also using Debian Testing on AMD64
and i get the same error message that the file or directory can't be
found. I've tried the following without success.

1. I created the directory "Videos" in $HOME which is the default
   location for saving screencasts. No effect.
2. I purged gnome-shell and gnome-session and reinstalled both
   packages.
3. I created a new user and tried to use the recording feature in a
   clean $HOME-environment but without effect.

The only thing which i haven't tried yet is to install Debian Wheezy
with Gnome 3 from scratch. I assume the problem is related to the
upgrade from 3.2 to 3.4 because i can also remember screencast recording
was functional in 3.2. Unfortunately i haven't been using this feature
since then and can't narrow down the problem. I'll add more information
if i can find more hints or even a solution.

Regards
Markus
