FYI. I'm not asking for help. Am sharing information in case
anyone else encounters a similar situation.
I'm running
http://dev.laptop.org/~dsd/f11-xo1/os2, updated with
'yum upgrade'. On other F11 builds I'm used to 'Record' coming up
without the "Video" tab - but this time 'Record' launched, drew its
screen output for a very brief instant, then vanished.
The interesting lines in the log are:
| The program 'sugar-activity' received an X Window System error.
| This probably reflects a bug in the program.
| The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.
| (Details: serial 54 error_code 11 request_code 131 minor_code 19)

(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
