Cody, I get this when I run jockey-gtk:
(jockey-gtk:4230): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_icon_set_render_icon_pixbuf:
assertion `icon_set != NULL' failed

(jockey-gtk:4230): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_icon_set_render_icon_pixbuf:
assertion `icon_set != NULL' failed

Also, this screen pops up (Attachment)

Cassidy, ouch that sucks. I've been too spoiled by tablets and phones and
just kind of assumed that elements would size as well.

Okay, we have to improvise. When I was making the first Luna video four
months ago, I asked the people on metafilter how the Google videos are
made. You can see it here: http://bit.ly/Z0lrxj

One person kindly took a screenshot of the video and overlayed it on top of
the screenshot of a real display: http://imgur.com/QoNrg and concluded that
the video is indeed made with photoshop/after effects instead of recording.

I went back and re watched the video (and many others) a few times and
noted that during the parts where things are zoomed in, there are very
little animations. As you can see here: http://youtu.be/kcOUWjkGBUY?t=38s,
it's mostly made of very simple UI with a hovering cursor and a key press.
I think we can do the same thing here, since we have so many great
designers.

Anyway, I already have an idea of how things would go in the video.
Hopefully, I can get this recording thing to work and make a quick draft. I
think it's going to be a killer video!

Piggy
