Totem Gdk-Error

[Adam Klobukowski]

Binary package hint: totem

Totem quits on startup with following debug output:

$ totem --sync --debug
(totem:8720): Totem-DEBUG: Received SaveYourself(SmSaveLocal, !Shutdown, SmInteractStyleNone, !Fast) in state idle
(totem:8720): Totem-DEBUG: Setting initial properties
(totem:8720): Totem-DEBUG: Sending SaveYourselfDone(True) for initial SaveYourself
(totem:8720): Totem-DEBUG: Received SaveComplete message in state save-yourself-done

Gdk-ERROR **: The program 'totem' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
  (Details: serial 1490 error_code 8 request_code 1 minor_code 0)
  (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.)
aborting...
Trace/breakpoint trap

I can confirm this and am attaching a backtrace of the crash. It makes totem plainly useless, so I am setting to "High".
