Comment:

 I have tested the above patch.  It appears to work.  The specific problem
 being solved is that Record hides itself (via Activity.hide(), ultimately
 descended from gtk.Window.hide()) prior to calling Activity.close().  Thus
 its window is unmapped when we try to take a screenshot of it using
 XShmGetImage in sugar-preview.c in _sugarext in sugar-toolkit.

 The patch above simply removes the hide() calls in Record.  This prevents
 the window from being unmapped.  Please test.
