Comment 56 for bug 63996

I applied the patch mentioned here http://bugzilla-attachments.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=86405 but it hasn't once worked for me.

The first run after patch application briefly showed the save-file dialog but it crashed before I could give focus to the window. Subsequent istanbul runs still exhibit the old pre-patch problem.

I'm on Karmic (2.6.31-17-generic) running the default repo version of istanbul.

Here's how I applied the patch:

- save the patch to, e.g. /tmp/istanbul-patch.txt
- cd /usr/share/pyshared/istanbul/main/
- sudo patch -b -p2 </tmp/istanbul-patch.txt

A backup is created in-case you need to revert to the original file.

I tried gtk-RecordMyDesktop but it has audio-video sync problems, so it isn't much of an option.
