ScreenRecorder for linux ?

mostly for Luigi i guess, but what is the best screenrecorder for linux ?
i dont want some big crap, just something small and something that doesnt make huge files only. so it has to support some kind of compression which doesn't impact on quality.
also i don't want terminal based one, something with GUI

EDIT:
i got my stuff workin with RecordMyDesktop, but i could use something better. lack of features in it, can't even specify the exact recording dimensions (like 800x600). i can choose manually, but thats not it, i need to get exact dimensions for uploading into youtube and site.

uhmmm not my field but I guess:
xvidcap: http://xvidcap.sourceforge.net (it has also a couple of videos about how to use it although it's command-line)
istanbul: http://live.gnome.org/Istanbul

xvidcap didn't record for me, it only made blank file and closed
instanbul also had some issues
wink, heard of it, but didnt test cuz i got recordmydesktop working

however recordmydesktop is only able to record sound from my USB camera's mic, thats pretty much all i wanted, but could get it working with "what u hear" too.

I wrote tutorial on how to capture sound from USB device with recordmydesktop too, in case somebody is interested in it too < just click on the link. took me a while to figure it out
