Fraps only records the window you currently have open.

FRAPS can record the desktop, I've been doing it for years. You need to start recording before you launch your games (which is one of its minor flaws in this day and age).

yes you are correct but it doesnt give you the option to select what you want to record. like you said you need to start recording before you launch you game. that is inconvenient. I also like the ability to record only certain of my wow windows or the entire desktop in an area, fraps doesnt give the region or resize option.

You're right, it can be very inconvenient and there are a handful of features from other programs that are left to be desired if you use FRAPS, but until another program can come along and handle what I need it to handle, I'm stuck with FRAPS.

I wouldn't really consider this much of a flaw since you can just take care of this post-recording if you've recorded the entire desktop to begin with. I'd personally rather have a program that can record the entire desktop flawlessly, and just take care of any of that after the recording process anyway since I may want to jump from showing every window to just showing my main, and vice versa.
