** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: ffmpeg
  
- This may be a duplicate of Bug #154793 or Bug #59849 but those are both
- quite old.
+ ffmpeg has an option '-x11grab' which enables it to record the desktop
+ to a video file. This is commonly used by the community making
+ screencasts on Ubuntu as it produces high quality video files with
+ little computational overhead.
  
- whilst ffmpeg on maverick appears to be compiled with --enable-x11grab,
- it doesn't work.
+ ffmpeg is compiled with the --enable-x11grab option enabled, but there
+ appears to be a missing dependency on libxfixes-dev (in main) (see
+ comment 3, below). As a result this feature which is compiled in is
+ broken. It worked fine in Lucid, so this feature has regressed.
+ 
+ Adding the necessary dependency and rebuilding ffmpeg fixes the issue
+ completely.
