Yes. I had trouble with this last night. I also tried installing the 
package from the PPA, hoping that having a valid .desktop file would 
make it work, but sadly not. It also doesn't make a difference if the 
app is started before or after the hangout.

I think the only workaround I have seen people use is to share their 
entire desktop which isn't optimal of course.
