Hi,
I'm a developer and require it for my own software. I went into the
package and enabled it & rebuilt for the time being.
Isn't there some software in Ubuntu that requires it?
Xwindow application automated testing?
Video recording of the desktop? (I think this one just grabs the cursor)
Debugging an app?
I guess they disable it for security purposes.
There was a discussion at the last XDC about modules with security
issues. I don't recall offhand if this particular one was on that list
but am guessing that to be the cause of the current settings.
I've no opinion myself; you're the first I've heard ever mention using
it.

I believe xnee uses XRecord (the headers refer to it). So I think the
xorg record module should be enabled during the build.

Got a debdiff to send me?
Bryce
This debdiff enables the RECORD extension.
