Quickstart guide on installing and working with recordMyDesktop (5 pages incl. screenshots)

Description of problem:
When recording a video with recordMyDesktop, Fedora 20 does not display the icon used to stop recording. Instead, after clicking "Record" (see steps in the below guide), a white line appears along the edge of the screen, and the computer begins working really slowly or freezes.

The steps I followed are in this guide:
https://mojo.redhat.com/docs/DOC-959339

The icon mentioned in this instruction is missing:
"You will see a red record icon in the top right corner of your screen.
When you're finished, press the red record button to stop recording."

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
I tried several times, with same results.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. See above guide
2.
3.

Actual results:
Missing icon

Expected results:
Icon on upper tab to use to stop recording

Additional info:
Workaround: Start and stop the recording from the terminal as follows:

After you install the recordMyDesktop packages (see guide),

1. In terminal, type gtk- and press Tab twice.
A list of applications that begin with gtk- appears, one of them is gtk-recordMyDesktop.

Example:
[yourname@dhcp-12-123 ~]$ gtk-
gtk-launch
gtk-recordMyDesktop
gtk-update-icon-cache
gtk-query-immodules-2.0-64
gtk-query-immodules-3.0-64

2. Start the application from the terminal by typing its name and pressing Enter:
[yourname@dhcp-12-123 ~]$ gtk-recordMyDesktop

3. The application window opens. Configure the application according to the guide and click “Record”.
4. When you are finished recording, press Ctrl+C to stop ("KeyboardInterrupt" will appear in the terminal).
