This seems to be caused by the call of xprop which says '_NET_FRAME_WINDOW: no such atom on any window.' The attached patch should solve this.

Hey Daniel! Thanks a lot for your patch there. Seems to works well here modifying debian/patches/compiz.patch with your patch.
I'm sponsoring it in ubuntu. Can you also please post that upstream (the whole debian/patches/compiz.patch would make sense in fact) so that everyone benefits of your work? (website is http://recordmydesktop.sourceforge.net)

Thanks again :)
