[Bug 389257] [NEW] kwin desktop recording "effect" missing

[Andrew Manson (real_ate)]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kwin

In the Kwin configuration -> Desktop Effects -> All Effects

I don't have an "Effect" that has anything to do with kwin recording. I
know it is supposed to be there because it was in the last version of
kde ( and hence kubuntu ) that i tried. It is also mentioned a lot on
the Internet.

In trying to get to the bottom of this i have noticed that libcaptury
was not installed by default in my system, which is odd because a Kwin
developer i was talking to said that it is a requirement for the
recording "Effect"

Does this mean that kwin was built without it? And if so is there any
way to get it in as a plugin library?

considering that any recordmydesktop based system simply does not work
with kwin/kde nowadays i would suspect that this issue should be put on
a reasonably high priority as there is NO method to screencast in
Kubuntu, that is if this is not an isolated incident.

I am using Ubuntu 9.04 and i have installed the Kubuntu desktop by doing
an "apt-get install kubuntu-deskop"
