I used to be able to record my screen in a previous version of GNOME (I don't know exactly which one), but I can't do it any more.


## Steps to reproduce

1. Start your GNOME session.
2. Press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+R to start recording what is on your screen.


## Expected result

* A red circle is displayed in the top right corner of the screen when the recording is in progress.
* Pressing Ctrl+Alt+Shift+R again will stop the recording and the video is automatically saved in your Videos folder in your home folder, with a file name that starts with Screencast and includes the date and time it was taken.


## Unexpected result

* No recording indicator is displayed.
* After pressing Ctrl+Alt+Shift+R again and checking the Videos folder, there is no screencast video saved.


## System information

GNOME 3.32.2

I can't reproduce this problem anymore using this Guix:

$ guix describe

guix 079ee3b
repository URL: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git
branch: master
commit: 079ee3b5ea7e9e9bf34753df42957d280e8eabc5

I can record the desktop normally again.

I couldn't find any specific commit in Guix's git log mentioning this issue, so I don't know when it was fixed. It fixed itself magically.
