gtk-recordMyDesktop crashes on launch AttributeError: TrayPopupMenu instance has no attribute 'popupmenu_continueitem' (Solved)

Yea, i had the same problem, but since i was in KDE i eventually installed qt-recordMyDesktop. Anyway, thanks for the explanation, i know it will be useful to others.

Btw, why isn't qt-recordMyDesktop on the repos?

Right after I finished created the issue ticket, I found the following
in another page:

Quoting:

"After further investigation, installing python-appindicator is just a
workaround.
rmdTrayPopup.py is missing a check, whether indicator support is enabled
or not."

And

"This bug was fixed in the package gtk-recordmydesktop - 0.3.8-3ubuntu2"

After reading this I wasn't sure if it was a good idea to bring this
issue to the trsiquel developers, so I decided to close the issue. Hope
it was the right way to go.
