Bug Description

Installed gtk-recordmydesktop and recordmydesktop, but frontend doesn't appear in dash.
Update: Frontend arrived in dash, but video is corrupted by running it from GUI. CLI still necessary to modify resolution.

(Summary attached as text file)
$ dpkg -l recordmydesktop
ii recordmydesktop 0.3.8.1+svn602-1ubuntu3
$ dpkg -l gtk-recordmydesktop
ii gtk-recordmydesktop 0.3.8-3ubuntu5

In order to visual describe another bug started recordmydesktop in a terminal without options, which resulted in corrupted video.
This option didn't corrupt the video.
$ recordmydesktop --width 1360 --height 768 --follow-mouse

In addition, when running in a terminal it displays on each vertical edge of the screen two small white lines side by side, the whole length from top to bottom of screen. (Unable to make a screenshot the white lines aren't captured.)
They don't disappear when the video is finished.
In order to make the lines vanish recordmydesktop needs to be killed by pid, because it's still running.
Update: After recent updates from July 9th, white lines vanish now when video is encoded and finished.

Couldn't find any differences in config file Natty vs. Oneiric.
/usr/share/pyshared/recordMyDesktop/rmdConfig.py

Another user reported there, but no respond yet.

When encoding is finished the screen looks like the attachement.
