"The Record extension appears to be broken somehow - it is not sending any events to Record clients (particularly XKeyPress, XKeyRelease and XButtonPress events). I am using the python-xlib library for my application. This library does not appear to have changed between Intrepid and Jaunty, and while Record works perfectly in Intrepid, in Jaunty it is broken as described. The relevant module from my application is attached."

Ubuntu version: Jaunty Alpha 2
python-xlib 0.14-2
xserver-xorg 1:7.4~5ubuntu9

Note, we've another bug that sounds similar, although the exact symptoms are a tad different -

xtrace from this second bug suggests that the XRecord fails to respond after a few interactions.
