Comment 16 for bug 185868

>>This bug was fixed in the package wink - 1.5.1060-5ubuntu1
"aptitude search wink" results in nothing. I can't find that package on the web either.

Wink doesn't seem to be the best solution for desktop recording anyway.
Most other capture applications don't work either (e.g. Istanbul).

Eventually, I found (gtk-)recordmydesktop in the repository.

I think the only disadvantage should be that gtk-recordmydesktop defaults to OGG while wink can write Flash files directly.

However, the advantage is that it is not closed-source freeware software where you have to rely on the author's time and mercy. (They should really charge money for wink and fix things immediately.)
